About the Event

In 1788, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart crafted his final symphony. Even today, it's a mystery how he achieved such brilliance: creating a masterpiece so flawless that it has been associated with the King of the Gods for over two centuries. But what makes it a masterpiece? To delve into this question (and others), multi‐award‐winning author and historian Leah Broad, along with Vasily Petrenko (making his debut conducting the RPO at Cadogan Hall), and the entire Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, invite us on an engaging exploration of Mozart’s genius. They will dissect the symphony to reveal its workings. Afterwards, they'll reassemble the magic, concluding with a full symphonic performance. Whether you're a devoted Mozart enthusiast or a first‐time listener, it's an experience that unfailingly captivates.

Enjoy a captivating one‐hour adventure of discovery with insights and a complete performance. This concert proceeds without an intermission.

Orchestra:	Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Acknowledged as one of the UK’s most prodigious orchestras, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) enjoys an international reputation for bringing audiences worldwide first‐class performances and the highest possible standards of music‐making across a diverse range of musical repertoire. This was the vision of the Orchestra’s flamboyant founder Sir Thomas Beecham, whose legacy is maintained today as the Orchestra continues to thrive.
Conductor:	Vasily Petrenko Born in St Petersburg in 1976, Vasily Petrenko is recognised as one of the exceptional musicians of his generation. Petrenko was still in his teens when he became resident conductor at St Petersburg Opera and Ballet Theatre, and has gone on to work with some of the world’s finest orchestras, earning international acclaim – and top prizes – for his inspirational performances. His Liverpool debut with the Phil in November 2004, and subsequent appearances in October and December 2005, created huge excitement: “…memorable for the sheer electricity emanating from the podium. Instantly there was a sense of dialogue between conductor and musicians, between one orchestral family and another, between one phrase and the next, to release natural‐seeming eloquence from his players.” The Daily Telegraph
Narrator:	Leah Broad
