1 Double-Pass to give away! $130.00 Prize value MOZARTS TEMPESTUOUS SKIES Event Date: 18/08/2022, 07:30 pm Thursday 18 August | Newcastle City Hall (NSW) Description Location & Map Contact The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra’s TEMPESTUOUS SKIES symphonic tour from 16-24 August brings some of Mozart’s most sublime, dramatic and passionate music to six national and regional centres. Starting in Kenthurst, NSW on 16 August, then travelling to Canberra (17 August), Newcastle (18 August), Brisbane (20 August), Caloundra, QLD (for the first time on 21 August) and, finally, Sydney (24 August), the full orchestra – including some of Australia’s finest emerging musicians – brings Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony, Piano Concerto in A major, Overture to Don Giovanni and sparkling Serenata Notturna to its national fan-base. Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony is one of the greatest pieces ever written. His final symphony, it is a grand statement from a visionary composer, and even if the nickname wasn’t Wolfgang’s own, the wonder, awe and complexity of the work perfectly bears the name of the king of Roman gods. Completed in 1788, Mozart’s 41st symphony followed hard on the heels of his greatest operas: The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Così fan tutte. The Overture to Don Giovanni bristles with passion and intrigue, foreshadowing the dramatic tale to come – extraordinary, considering Mozart wrote it the night before its premiere! Around the same time, Mozart penned his Piano Concerto No.23. Audiences around the country will be delighted to have internationally renowned Australian fortepiano soloist and Historically Informed Performance doyen Neal Peres Da Costa perform this beloved staple of the piano repertoire – in a very specific and fascinating version. Neal (pictured below and attached) recently had a new fortepiano built and it makes its debut tour with the orchestra! As part of the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra’s new emerging artists program, Tempestuous Skies will also feature three selected young musicians from the Young Mannheim Symphonists youth orchestra who will perform alongside the professional musicians.
