London Mozart Players | Mozart and Tchaikovsky

Music by – and inspired by – Mozart, as the London Mozart Players perform Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings and Mozart’s magnificent Sinfonia Concertante.

Two’s company: Mozart was a viola player, and when he paired the viola with a solo violin, the result was a masterpiece like no other. Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante is like hearing Amadeus himself, joking, dancing and pouring out his very soul. The superb young British viola player Tim Ridout takes Mozart’s role tonight; he’s joined by violinist Jonian Ilias Kadesha, whose playing (according to one critic) has “an element of pure genius”. And then the London Mozart Players turn to a composer who revered Mozart like no other – the unchained melodies and soaring romance of Tchaikovsky’s lovely Serenade for Strings.
