Simply Mozart

Mozart, Mozart, Mozart! Pianist and passionate chamber musician Kit Armstrong has invited an illustrious group of musical friends, such as the concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic Noah Bendix-Balgley and three renowned string quartets, to take part in the Elbphilharmonie [Mozart Festival]. On their »Expedition Mozart« they revel in the composer’s classics, but also explore rarely performed chamber music.

Kit Armstrong himself is represented with two piano concertos, one of which is chamber music through and through, while the other is a large-scale symphonic work. In the Sinfonia Concertante, Noah Bendix-Balgley and Amihai Grosz vie with one another. The composer himself would certainly have appreciated a musical evening of this kind with friends!

If you still haven’t had enough of the great Viennese composer after an entire evening of him, why not stay for the late-night concert to round off the evening? You can hear »Eine kleine Nachtmusik« (what else?!), framing rare chamber music gems.
