The 20th Anniversary of the Austin Chamber Music Center’s annual summer festival kicks off with a gala all-Mozart Concert Friday, July 8th at 7:30PM. The program will feature a chamber orchestra comprised of some of Austin’s most talented instrumentalists who will be conducted by the Austin Symphony’s Music Director Peter Bay. ACMC Artistic Director Michelle Schumann will be the soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 12. The program also includes performances of Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp and his Divertimento, K.251. Bay and Schumann talk with KMFA’s Music Director Chris Johnson about the concert and share some musical excerpts.
You can hear more about the rest of the festival on this week’s edition of Classical Austin with KMFA’s Diane Donovan.
