LNSO, Mozart and Schubert's "Unfinished symphony"

Elīna Bērtiņa – Piano

Guntis Kuzma – Conductor

Program:

  • Gundaris Pone – "The Beautiful Venetian"
  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 21
  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – "German Dances"
  • Franz Schubert – "Unfinished Symphony"

The concert, divided into two parts, will reveal two emotional spheres and a seamless transition between musical eras. On one hand, the bright and radiant character of Mozart shines through his C major Piano Concerto and "German Dances", echoed in 1987 by Gundaris Pone, who portrays his wife Mariolina in his opus while drawing inspiration from the finest elements of the 18th and 19th centuries. On the other hand, Schubert’s "Unfinished Symphony" presents the stormy and expressive character of the new era—Romanticism—within its two-movement structure.

This concert is included in the LNSO Autumn Subscription 2025, available for purchase until February 14. Subscriptions can be purchased here.

Doors open at 18:00.
