Mozart's Attic - Thursday, April 28th 10:00 pm

Einojuhani Rauravaara
Einojuhani Rauravaara

Mozart's music was the star of the 1967 film Elvira Madigan, and the Piano Concerto No. 21 will probably always be associated with that name. It's our featured work, and we'll follow it with two more concerti: an out-of-the-ordinary piece by contemporary Finnish composer Einojuhani Rauravaara  that's like nothing else on the concert stage, and a short double concerto by Gustav Holst.

Then it's music of Dietrich Buxtehude and a cantata by one of his students, a young fellow by the name of Bach -- a composer who wrote some tunes that nearly everyone will recognize today, even those who aren't quite sure where the melody came from.
