Sydney Symphony / Mozart and the French Connection / Poulenc, Mozart
Sydney, Australia
Thursday, 12 April 2012 - 7:00 PM
A morning serenade, a light-hearted diversion and a witty piano concerto - music by Poulenc and Mozart.

The curtain rises with a charming French ballet-cum-piano concerto from the 1920s, a "morning serenade" for Diana, virgin goddess of the hunt. Poulenc's mercurial music captures her tempestuous feelings and her cool purity, the whole coloured by his trademark sophistication.

Mozart provides a diversion, literally, before the soloist, Ian Munro, returns to the stage in a piano concerto composed for Mme Jenamy, the daughter of a French choreographer. Mozart was just 21 when he wrote it and it shows him in the full flight of his genius with music that's imaginative, witty and bold.
