Elmhurst Symphony Presents “Mozart Magic” January 11 and 26
The ESO offers two opportunities to hear a concert of dazzling favorites by Mozart at two different and beautiful venues January 11 and 26.
Enjoy an afternoon of glorious music when the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Music Director and Conductor Stephen Alltop, continues its 2019-20 season with two opportunities to hear a concert of dazzling favorites, on Saturday, January 11 at 2:30 p.m. at Mayslake Peabody Estate and again on Sunday, January 26, at 3:00 p.m., at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church.
“Mozart Magic” features stellar instrumentalists from the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra who will play Mozart’s Serenade in C minor, Divertimento in F major, Serenade in E-flat major, and the composer’s well-loved Ave verum corpus presented by the Symphony strings in a surround-sound performance. Also on the program is Igor Stravinsky's Octet.
The concerts are underwritten in part with generous gifts from Tim and Carol Rounds (Mozart’s Serenades in C minor and E-flat major), Elaine Libovicz (Mozart’s Divertimento and Stravinsky’s Octet), and an anonymous donor (Mozart’s Ave verum corpus) in honor of ESO Executive Director, Cynthia Bergquist Krainc.
