Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 at Severance Music Center

MOZART  Symphony No. 40

ALLISON LOGGINS-HULL  New Work
(World Premiere; TCO co-commission)   

PROKOFIEV  Symphony No. 3* 

The Cleveland Orchestra
Franz Welser-Möst, conductor

Mozart completed his Symphony No. 40 in a matter of weeks in 1788, though nothing in this music indicates any hurry, showcasing a work of both refined elegance and fiery passion. Music Director Franz Welser-Möst pairs this with a blazing symphony of a different sort — Prokofiev’s Third, for which the composer adapted music from his opera The Fiery Angel. Complementing these is a much-anticipated world premiere from Allison Loggins-Hull, the Orchestra’s Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow.

*Not performed on Friday’s matinee concert

This program’s Concert Preview lectures will be presented by Cicilia Yudha.
