Overview
Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 featuring Tao and Heyward
Jonathon Heyward, conductor
Conrad Tao, piano
BRITTEN Passacaglia from Peter Grimes
MOZART Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor
LUTOSŁAWSKI Concerto for Orchestra
Approaching Mozart’s music with a presence that is “elegantly unruffled” (The New York Times), Conrad Tao illuminates the subtleties of his forebear’s dramatic Piano Concerto No. 20. For the young Polish composer Lutosławski, threads of local folk music and lessons from centuries past converge to make his Concerto for Orchestra an ear-tickling marvel of mid-century modernism. An interlude from Benjamin Britten’s breakthrough opera provides another angle of emotional mastery from a musician wise beyond his years.
