Musical Renegades: Mozart and Zappa

The Mainstage series is sponsored by the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation

Innovators. Visionaries. Geniuses. Renegades. These words could be used to describe both composers featured on our final Mainstage of the season: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Frank Zappa. Although these two musical icons were born 184 years and an ocean apart, they have more in common than one would expect: both were pathbreaking composers that defied the limitations of their respective genres, and both had a healthy disdain for the conventional propriety of the day. Join us for rarely heard selections of Zappa’s orchestral compositions and a performance of Mozart’s fiery yet refined “Haffner” symphony. 

Approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes with a 15-minute intermission.
Wine and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.
