Mozart Under the Stars

When Angela Hewitt performed Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22, Seen and Heard International raved that “Hewitt made [them] hear Mozart as if [they’ve] never heard Mozart before. Through her interpretation, she showed her audience how Mozart’s melodies reveal themselves to her and, combined with her refined taste and sense of humour, made for a very compelling performance.” Nicolas Ellis makes his Bowl debut, leading Hewitt and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in this elegant and noble concerto in between the composer’s dramatic Don Giovanni overture and Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter.” Posthumously nicknamed “Jupiter,” the symphony opens with a rollicking grand opening, celestial melodies from the strings and winds, and overflowing joy throughout makes it a piece perfectly suited for a starry night.
