HAMILTON, ON – The HPO opens the 20-21 Season with Joyful Mozart, premiering September 26, highlighting the celebrated composer’s melodies and signature style in works for winds and strings. This performance is the first in the Hamilton Series, which features HPO musicians performing personally selected solo and ensemble works in celebrated locations around our community.
Produced in collaboration with our media partners at Hamilton-based Banko Media under the artistic direction of Music Director Gemma New, this one-hour performance features solo and ensemble performances recorded at the Royal Botanical Gardens Auditorium.
This concert begins with the bright and whimsical joy of Mozart’s Flute Quartet No. 1 in D major led by Principal Flute Leslie Newman. Elizabeth Loewen Andrews and Cecilia Chang illustrate the elegance and balance of the violin through fluid counterpoint in Telemann’s Sonata for Two Violins in D major. Newman shares the stage with recently appointed Principal Oboe Aleh Remezau performing Ginastera’s Duo for Flute and Oboe. The performance closes with Ramezau demonstrating the lyricism of his instrument with Mozart’s Oboe Quartet in F major.
Patrons will receive details on how to access the performance one week prior to the premiere date. The pre-concert talk will be available to view online beginning on September 25. Patrons who have purchased access to Joyful Mozart will be able to view the broadcast anytime within 30 days of the premiere.
