MISSY MAZZOLI Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres)
a Music Alive Composer Residency
SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 9
TCHAIKOVSKY Mozartiana
MENDELSSOHN Violin Concerto
Every creation is indebted to the works that precede it. In this concert, we explore influential forebears as we hear music of Tchaikovsky based on his idol, Mozart, and music of Shostakovich with a Haydnesque flair. Missy Mazzoli’s Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres) pays homage to Baroque techniques, and superstar violinist Anne Akiko Meyers offers her take on Mendelssohn’s beloved Violin Concerto—an early Romantic work steeped in Classical period tradition.
