“The Glory of Vienna” – An Evening of Mozart & Beethoven

Modus Operandi Orchestra (MOO), under the baton of Maestro Justin Bischof with Eiko Kano, concertmaster, will celebrate the riches and majesty of works that either premiered in Vienna or that have a strong connection to this glittering European capital city. The program will feature Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture and Symphony No. 7, as well as Mozart’s Symphony No. 35 “Haffner,” Exsultate Jubilate for soprano and orchestra, and concert aria “No no, che non sei capace”. In her MOO debut, Cuban coloratura soprano Laura León will take on the thrilling and fiendishly difficult aria with its numerous high E’s, as well as the beloved composer’s joyous Exsultate Jubilate.

The concert also includes several notable anniversaries and interconnections with the number “3”: the 250th anniversary of Exsultate Jubilate (1773); the 240th anniversary of Symphony No. 35 “Haffner” and “No, no che non non sei capace” (1783); and the 210th anniversary of Symphony No. 7 (30 years later in 1813).
