Join us for an unforgettable evening of musical mastery as the Austin Symphony Orchestra takes you on a journey through the timeless melodies of Mozart and other acclaimed composers. Set against the backdrop of the charming March night, prepare to be swept away by the captivating sounds of the orchestra, led by Maestro Bay.

The spotlight of the evening falls on none other than the maestro himself, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Feel the anticipation build as the orchestra opens with the dramatic and exhilarating Don Giovanni Overture, a true showcase of Mozart's genius in weaving together intricate melodies and emotions.

As the symphony continues to unfold, revel in the elegance of Mozart's Symphony No. 38 in D Major. Let the music envelop you, transporting you to a world of grace and beauty, where every note is a brushstroke on the canvas of your imagination.

But the delights of the evening don't stop there. The enchantment continues with Bedřich Smetana's The Moldau, a musical voyage along the winding currents of the Moldau River. Close your eyes and let the orchestra's melodies paint vivid scenes of nature and tranquility, a symphonic panorama that will leave you utterly captivated.

And who could resist the allure of Dvořák's Violin Concerto in A Minor, brought to life by the virtuosic talents of acclaimed violinist Adele Anthony? Her performance promises to be a true masterpiece, delivering the emotional depth and technical brilliance that this concerto demands. From the soaring highs to the introspective lows, you'll be moved by every nuanced expression of the violin.

Mark your calendars for this extraordinary evening of classical brilliance. Your Austin Symphony Orchestra invites you to join us in celebrating the musical legacy of Mozart and the unparalleled artistry of our talented musicians.
