Event Details:

With the ability to "collapse any sense of distance between performer and listener" (The Guardian), world-renowned violinist Alina Ibragimova returns to the Ordway to lead the SPCO on a journey through lighthearted, spirited works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn and those they inspired. Alfred Schnittke's Moz-Art à la Haydn is an out-of-the-box take on an unfinished musical fragment by Mozart, written in the humorous spirit of the two titular composers known for their humor. With a ghostly "fun house atmosphere" (New York Times) full of musical quotations, the work involves dueling violinists, lighting effects, and an ending reminiscent of Haydn's Farewell Symphony -- hang on tight for this program full of whimsy à la Mozart!

The SPCO is primarily an unconducted ensemble that performs a broad range of repertoire from Baroque to new music and works in close collaboration with a dynamic roster of Artistic Partners.

The virtuoso musicians of the SPCO present more than 100 concerts and educational programs in the Twin Cities each year.
