SUMMARY:Mozart by Candlelight
DESCRIPTION:Candles’ glow plus irresistible music make this concert a midwinter must. Saint-Georges was a virtuoso violinist and a pioneering composer to which his vibrant L’amant Anonyme Overture attests. Mozart’s Divertimento is a crowning achievement from the master and a Sinfonia Concertante by Johann Sebastian Bach’s youngest son features MSO’s own Alexander Ilchev and Mert Özkan. Mozart’s sparkling Symphony No. 29\, embodying both his youthful vigor and early maturity\, commands the concert’s second half. \n\nSponsors\n\nSeries Sponsor: Keesler Federal Credit Union \nConcert Sponsor: Emerson (Bud) & Judy Robinson + StateStreet Group \n\n\n\nTalent Bio\n\nAlexander Ilchev\, violin \nMSO Concertmaster Alexander Ilchev\, of Bulgaria\, possesses a virtuosic approach to performance\, greatly influenced by his father Professor Alexander Petrov Ilchev\, and has a wide-ranging repertoire from Baroque to Contemporary music.
