Did you know that Mozart (son) had several different names throughout his life? And that he loved to play billiards? And did you know that his father was an unparalleled composer, teacher and violinist, author of one of the most celebrated textbooks on violin? These and other curious facts about Mozart and orchestral instruments will be revealed by Pedro Carneiro, who, in this concert with commentary, conducts the newest and most energetic portuguese orchestra.
Let yourself be moved by the beautiful and emblematic Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola - a brilliant example of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's creative genius - with the help of Orquestra de Câmara Portuguesa's flawless execution of this astounding piece by Mozart junior... But for starters, have fun with the Toy Symphony by Mozart senior, mister Leopold. Just like the old-age adage says: Like Father, Like Son!
Prepare yourself for precious pearls of sound, lulling melodies and to be amusingly frightened by vuvuzelas! Vuvuzelas?! That's right, but... we cannot unveil any more secrets. Come and bring family, and neighbours, and friends and whoever you can also find in the street!
