This concert is one of six performances that the Academy is giving as part of the Kings Place “Mozart Unwrapped” Festival which runs throughout 2011.

The third concert in the Academy of St Martin in the Fields’ Mozart Double Wrapped series provides a unique opportunity to hear Mozart’s first and last symphonies performed by this world-renowned chamber orchestra. These pieces are accompanied by Violin Concerto No.2 in D and Horn Concerto No.4, with the Academy’s principal horn Tim Brown as soloist. At only eight years old, Mozart was already noted in Europe as a virtuoso performer, and his first symphony (K16) was one of the first major pieces he composed. 24 years later, and 3 years before his death, Mozart wrote the triumphant Symphony No.41 in C ‘Jupiter’. It was to be his final symphony, and it is not known whether the work was ever performed during the composer’s lifetime. This evening, outstanding violinist Anthony Marwood will join the Academy to direct this extraordinary work.
