About the Event

In 1788, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his final symphony. To this day, we’re not entirely sure how he managed it: to create a masterpiece so perfect that for more than two centuries it has borne the same name as the King of the Gods. But why is it considered a masterpiece? To answer this question (and others), multi‐award‐winning author and historian Leah Broad, Vasily Petrenko (conducting the RPO at Cadogan Hall for the first time), and the entire Royal Philharmonic Orchestra join us to offer an entertaining look into the essence of Mozart. They’ll break down the symphony and show you how it works. And then they’ll put it back together and conclude the evening with a full performance. Whether you’re a die‐hard Mozart fan or a complete newcomer—it’s an experience that never fails to delight.

An entertaining one‐hour journey of discovery featuring insights and a full performance. This concert has no 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
