Asheville Amadeus: Mozartissimo- May 13th & 14th, 2023, 3pm Both Days

Milton Crotts, Conductor
Emily Schaad, Guest Conductor

The BRO plans to wrap up this season with a program paying homage to the incomparable Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! We will be joining the 2023 Asheville Amadeus Festival as we highlight one of his works, Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat, K. 364, with violinist Rachel Handman and violist Emily Schaad. This piece includes some of the last, and possibly the best, music Mozart wrote before leaving Salzburg for Vienna at age 25. Schaad will also be doubling as Guest Conductor for this piece! You will not want to miss this incredible talent and unique delivery!

In keeping with the Americana theme, the second half of the program features the BRO Winds performing classic works by several of the best-known American composers. 

Program:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat Major, K. 364

Soloists: Rachel Handman, Violin
Emily Schaad, Viola, Guest Conductor

Aaron Copland – Appalachian Spring Suite (Chamber Orchestra Version)

Arlen and Harburg (arr. Custer) – “Over the Rainbow”

Soloist: Rienette Davis, Trombone
