A Musical Journey through Mozart’s Works

This special concert is part of the Masterworks series and will showcase three diverse genres of Mozart’s incredible compositions. Prepare for a musical journey that begins with the charming “Divertimento in D Major.” Composed when Mozart was just 15 years old in 1772, this delightful piece holds a unique charm and has two versions: one ideal for chamber orchestra and the other for a string quartet.

Next up is the majestic “Symphony #39,” completed in 1788 and notable for its fascinating history. In fact, it’s believed that this symphony was likely not performed during Mozart’s lifetime, with no records showing it took the stage until 1792, after his passing. This performance will surely bring the acclaimed piece to life in an exciting way!

The grand finale of the night will feature the captivating “Piano Concerto #23,” with Ying Li stepping into the spotlight as the piano soloist. Known for its classic three-movement format, this concerto is celebrated for a lively opening and closing, perfectly contrasted by a slow, dreamy middle section often described as “lyric and softly moonlit.” It’s sure to be a highlight of the performance!

Spotlight on Ying Li

Speaking of Ying Li, this remarkable pianist hails from China and boasts an impressive education with a Bachelor of Music degree from the Curtis Institute earned in 2019, followed by a Master of Music from Juilliard. She’s no stranger to accolades, having clinched First Prize in the 2021 Young Concert Artists Susan Wadsworth International Auditions. Aikenians are in for a treat with her artistry gracing the stage!

Mark Your Calendars

As you prepare for this magical evening, keep in mind that the weather forecast for January 11 predicts a cozy high of 54°F and a low around 45°F, with cloudy skies and gentle winds blowing in from the south at 10 to 20 mph. Perfect concert weather!

Don’t miss out on this extraordinary evening celebrating one of the greatest composers of all time. Tickets are available online at aikensymphony.com or by calling 803-295-0313. Join your fellow music lovers and let the enchanting sounds of Mozart fill the air in Aiken!
