The centerpiece of this program is Harvard Professor Robert Levin's re construction of Mozart's rarely-performed Symphonie Concertante for four w inds and orchestra. One of America's foremost musicologists and world-reno wned Mozart expert\, Professor Levin has made extensive study of the Symph onie Concertante. Through his research he uncovered the work's fascinating history\, full of itinerant soloists\, artistic power struggles\, and ano nymous copyists. Professor Levin himself will be joining us for this proje ct\, delivering a pre-concert lecture accompanied by live demonstrations f rom the soloists.\nTwo of the other works are already audience favorites. Weber's overture to the opera Der Freischü\;tz features perhaps the mo st famous horn quartet writing of the early 19th century\, and listeners w ill have the pleasure of hearing it played on natural horns\, as the compo ser originally intended. Schubert's &ldquo\;Unfinished&rdquo\; Symphony ne eds almost no introduction\, with its haunting opening in the low strings and sublime slow movement\, but the use of historical trombones will lend our performance a special nobility. As an extra treat\, we will also prese nt Mozart's Divertimento K.131\, a virtuosic work by the 16-year old prodi gy featuring solo flute\, oboe\, bassoon\, and a horn quartet in high-spir ited conversation with the string orchestra.\n \n\nStart time: Pre-concert talk with Robert Levin beginning at 2:30 DTSTART:20130310T000000 DTEND:20130310T000000 LOCATION: SUMMARY:Grand Harmonie: Mozart\, Weber\, and Schubert TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
