Mozart and the Misfits

The Performance

This event is also offered in the IU Health Plans evening Classical Series.

Funk beats, jazz, wit, and classicism collide in a kaleidoscopic program. ISO’s beloved Principal Cellist Austin Huntington shines in Gulda’s virtuosic Cello Concerto that takes us to a pastoral Austrian vista, a Viennese court, a manic dance club, and everywhere in between in this raucous tribute to rule breaking. ISO Assistant Conductor Su-Han Yang leads Schnittke’s Moz-Art a la Haydn, a playful piece for strings that subversively pays tributes to the past masters. Mozart’s great “Linz” Symphony restores our bearings and rounds out the program.
