Sinfonietta Rīga. Mozart. Mocart. Mocart.

Following the wonderful inauguration concerts of February the creative partner of Sinfonietta Rīga, Jörg Widmann, returns to audiences in Rīga and Rēzekne with the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This classical genius is the one closest to Jörg Widmann's heart and soul - Mozart's masterpieces come alive in the enchanting tones of his clarinet, and are often revealed in emotional interpretations in his role as orchestra conductor. In his new interpretation of the almost two-and-a-half centuries old Sinfonia Concertante, Widmann, as always striving for profound emotionality,  has invited two accomplished musicians to join him on stage - the Berliner Philharmoniker's 1st Concertmaster, violinist Vineta Sareika and its 1st Principal violist Amihai Grosz. Along with the brilliant example of concerto genre, the programme, dedicated solely to Mozart, also includes the chrestomathic two final symphonies of the Austrian grandmaster - the 40th, brimming with aching for life, and the 41st, full of uplifting beauty, and nicknamed after the chief Roman god, the great Jupiter.
