Sir Simon Rattle & Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

Sobre o Evento

Sir Simon Rattle and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment will present W.A. Mozart's late symphonies — a trilogy that could scarcely be in more expert hands.

The date of 27 January is one of the most significant in music history, for it was on this day in 1756 that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born. Some 32 years later, in 1788, he composed his last three symphonies within the space of only three months, each of which was radically different from the other and whose originality opened up new perspectives in the history of the genre.

The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, established in 1986, is a British ensemble expressly specialising in performances on period instruments of works created in the second half of the 18th century.
