The Bach work was the first of the famous six Brandenburg concertos that he presented to Christian Ludwig in 1721. Regal and intricate, this concerto has all of the elements that place Bach’s music on the very top shelf. The often heard Mozart symphony, his second to last, was composed in 1788 – originally intended for the opening of a casino. Profound and beautiful, this piece shows Mozart’s seldom-revealed dark side.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Beginning the concert will be a jewel from the American Neo-Classical movement, Elliott Carter’s “Elegy for String Orchestra,” which was composed in 1952.
