Mozart, Márquez & Pablo Sáinz-Villegas

At the peak of his celebrity status, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his emotionally charged “Prague” Symphony for his fans in the European capital, one of whom described the work as a “bewitching masterpiece that carried the soul to sublime heights.” Don’t miss your chance to experience Mozart’s magical score for yourself, filled with music of unbridled energy, sensuality, and joy.

Pablo Sáinz-Villegas—“the global ambassador of the Spanish guitar” (Billboard)—makes his long-awaited debut in Southam Hall performing a new work for solo guitar and orchestra by Mexican composer Arturo Márquez.

The NAC Orchestra performs for the first time two works by Serbian composer Isidora Žebeljan: The Horses of Saint Mark, a surrealist adventure that evokes the sacred chants of Byzantine monks, and Zujte Strune (Hum away, hum away, strings!), which reimagines themes from Mozart’s fairy-tale opera The Magic Flute.
