The Utah Symphony Presents An Evening Of Works From Mozart And Haydn

Between the unparalleled classical genius of Mozart and Haydn and a stupendous lineup of famed works, an evening full of pure enjoyment is guaranteed for all listeners. Haydn's captivating yet unpredictable Symphony "No. 99" shares the stage with two significant works by Mozart, the sophisticated "Jeunehomme" Concerto, and the beloved "Eine kleine Nachtmusik."

Ronald Brautigam has rightfully claimed his reputation as one of Holland's most respected musicians, performing regularly with leading orchestras like the London Philharmonic, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw, among others. Mr. Brautigam has recorded over 60 works with the Swedish label BIS, including the complete works of Mozart and Haydn, and the 15-CD Beethoven cycle, both on fortepiano. Mr. Brautigam's last appearance with the Utah Symphony was in November of 2013, when he performed Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto.

GRAMMY nominated conductor Patrick Dupré Quigley is the Founder and Artistic Director of Seraphic Fire and the Firebird Chamber Orchestra. Mr. Quigley is a coveted guest conductor, taking the podium everywhere from the San Francisco Symphony to the Naples Philharmonic. Mr. Quigley is the recipient of the Robert Shaw Conducting Fellowship and the Louis Botto Award for his leadership of Seraphic Fire.

A pre-concert lecture free to all ticketholders will take place at all Masterworks Series performances in Abravanel Hall's First Tier Room 45 minutes prior to each performance.
