28 January 2024 Kansas City (Missouri, USA)
Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5
Kansas City Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kazem Abdullah - The Kauffman Center
Program Info: Kansas City Symphony Orchestra Kazem Abdullah, guest conductor Jun Iwasaki, violin
Guest conductor Kazem Abdullah balances a busy career conducting operas and symphonic literature, with numerous engagements in both genres around the world. For this program, he leads the orchestra in Erich Korngold’s Symphony in F-sharp. Korngold divided his time between the concert hall and composing film scores, writing the music for 16 Hollywood movies and winning two Oscars in the process. Completed in 1952, Korngold’s only symphony melds his talent for melody with tradition in a profound work of beauty.
Our amazing concertmaster Jun Iwasaki takes a solo bow in Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5, the pinnacle of elegance and refinement. Iwasaki’s incredible artistry meets Mozart’s gift for melody in this stylish and thoroughly enjoyable concerto.
Program: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Violin Concerto No. 5 Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Symphony in F-sharp Opus 40 uses themes from ELIZABETH & ESSEX and CAPTAIN BLOOD in its slow movement and a theme from KINGS ROW in the finale.
