Mozart: Adagio & Fugue, K. 546

The season opens with a spotlight on you. You can help the ETSO decide if four beloved pieces of music should be raised to the status of masterworks. Enjoy works by Mozart, Mahler, Franck, and Bruch, and vote in real time on whether or not these works merit entering the canon of classical music. Guest soloist for the evening is violinist Timothy Chooi.
