ABOUT
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Ninth Piano Concerto has been called the first masterpiece of the classical style. Renowned young pianist Benjamin Grosvenor brings this charming and elegant music to life in a performance that promises to astound you with its brilliance and beauty. The evening is rounded out with two youthful works by Felix Mendelssohn — another child prodigy — the Reformation Symphony and the Trumpet Overture, written when he was just 16 years old.
