Alina Ibragimova Plays Mozart’s Third Violin Concerto

With the ability to “collapse any sense of distance between performer and listener” (“The Guardian”), world-renowned violinist Alina Ibragimova returns to the Ordway to lead the SPCO on a journey through lighthearted, spirited works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn and those they inspired. Alfred Schnittke’s “Moz-Art à la Haydn” is an out-of-the-box take on an unfinished musical fragment by Mozart, written in the humorous spirit of the two titular composers known for their humor. With a ghostly “fun house atmosphere” (“New York Times”) full of musical quotations, the work involves dueling violinists, lighting effects, and an ending reminiscent of Haydn’s “Farewell” Symphony — hang on tight for this program full of whimsy à la Mozart!
