orchester le phénix / Lei Meng: Mozart Klavierkonzerte

In this year’s Easter concerts, we will perform two Mozart piano concertos in the version for piano and string orchestra, together with Lei Meng, an internationally acclaimed pianist from China and the youngest professor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. To kick off the program, also for string instruments: the overture to *Le Nozze di Figaro*! And in between, a memento of Mozart’s trip to Italy, during which he thoroughly examined styles, genres, and local musical tastes and incorporated them into his music: the Divertimento, K. 136. Joy of life, rich timbres, virtuosity: Let Mozart’s music and the orchestra’s captivating performance inspire you this Easter!
