Expanding the Score

Celebrating the finale of ChamberFest Canandaigua’s 20th Anniversary Season, we’re joined by conductor Evan Meccarello, a full orchestra, and a slate of incredible soloists for an exuberant evening of music. A young Mozart, eager to break the norms of Salzburg, blends the styles he had recently encountered on a Parisian tour in this completely innovative concerto for a modest orchestra and two soloists: violin and viola. Decades later, Beethoven similarly sought to elevate the piano trio as a soloist; a daring endeavor in balancing three extremely unique voices in an altogether virtuosic and vibrant work.
