1768 – a retrospective
23 January 2018, 7.30pm - Wigmore Hall, London
Intro
Ian Page’s visionary MOZART 250 series continues to build a widespread and highly enthusiastic following. Here he returns with The Mozartists for a diverse and illuminating overview of the musical year 1768. Dramatically charged D minor symphonies by Haydn and Vanhal frame a charming flute concerto by ‘the London Bach’ and a fascinating selection of arias sung by the outstanding young Swiss-Belgian soprano Chiara Skerath.
“It’s a series worth following: this was an unalloyed pleasure from start to finish.” THE INDEPENDENT on MOZART 250
