Feb. 7 Orchestra Concert: What's in a Nickname?
Sunday, Feb. 7 at 2 p.m., NOVA, Alexandria, Va. - Franz Josef Haydn’s Symphony No. 96 and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 were so legendary they each earned nicknames the composers could never have imagined. Composed within a few years of one another, Haydn’s The Miracle and Mozart’s Jupiter captured the ears, hearts, and minds of their audiences and took on lives of their own. These composers and their symphonies are just as relevant today as they were in the 1780s. The program also features soloist Gunnery Sgt. Elisabeth Plunk performing Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s Flute Concerto. The concert is free and no tickets are required.
