Some forthcoming performances of Mozart Clarinet Concerto in Australia:

Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Beautiful Minds

Australian Brandenburg OrchestraIn an age when "awesome" has come to mean fleetingly interesting rather than inspiring awe, you could be forgiven for ignoring the publicist's attachment of the word "beautiful minds" to this concert. However in this case White Hat believes the hype is well founded. To have written magical works by your mid teens and by your death in your mid thirties to have left the world with some of its most glorious music does require a beautiful mind and both Mozart and Mendelssohn possessed one.

Mozart's clarinet concerto was written for the basset clarinet of the period but is most often heard today on the modern orchestral clarinet involving the minor rewriting of some of the passages featuring the lower notes. Only a few notes you may say, but with Mozart every note is important. Here is a rare opportunity to hear Mozart's clarinet concerto featuring the instruments for which he wrote it.Craig Hill (bassett clarinet) and  Madeleine Easton (period violin) perform with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra (Artistic Director Paul Dyer)
