‘Mozart’s Czech Mates’ at Wigmore Hall
26 September 2022 – Wigmore Hall, 7.30pm

“A superb concert: educational, certainly, but viscerally exciting too. Here’s to the next 25 years of The Mozartists!”
SEEN & HEARD INTERNATIONAL

Ian and The Mozartists launched their 25th anniversary season at Wigmore Hall on 26 September with a concert entitled ‘Mozart’s Czech Mates’.

The programme comprised works by outstanding Bohemian composers with whom Mozart came into contact, either in person or through their music, and was framed by two intensely dramatic G minor symphonies by Vanhal and Kozeluch. In between, soprano Chiara Skerath – an Associate Artist of the company – sang settings by Gluck and Mysliveček of Sesto’s “Se mai senti spirarti” from La clemenza di Tito, and Mozart’s concert aria “Bella mia fiamma”, composed in Prague for his friend Josepha Duschek. The dramatic standout, however, was a scene from Benda’s astonishingly visceral melodrama Medea, which Chiara and the orchestra delivered with stunning commitment and intensity.

1773 – A Retrospective
17 January 2023 – Wigmore Hall, 7.30pm

Continuing The Mozartists’ ground-breaking MOZART 250 series, this entertaining and illuminating selection of works composed in 1773 begins with one of Mozart’s most genial middle-period symphonies and ends with his first enduringly popular masterpiece. In between, Haydn’s famed horn writing takes the instrument to the almost ridiculous extremes of its compass, while soprano Alexandra Lowe, making her eagerly anticipated company début, sings arias that are by turns dramatic, lyrical and virtuosic.

Ian will be giving a free pre-performance talk at 6.15pm.
