Nic and the orchestra kick off the season with a program dedicated to the incomparable prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Fortepianist Robert Levin returns for special performances of recently discovered fragments that he has arranged for fortepiano and orchestra and a rare historically-informed performance of the Concert for Fortepiano No. 20. Capping the evenings is Mozart's most well-known instrumental work-Symphony No. 41 ("Jupiter")-performed as Mozart intended: on period instruments with virtuosity, intensity and passion.
