The San Diego Symphony will present Mozart’s "Violin Concerto No. 5 (Turkish)" and Bruckner's "Symphony No. 4" twice this week. During his prolific career, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed twenty-seven piano concertos. Despite being an accomplished violin player, he wrote only five violin concertos, all written in 1775 when Mozart was nineteen years old. The fifth and final violin concerto, written a month before he turned 20, has become his most popular.

Because of these musical undertones, the concerto is often nicknamed “Turkish.”
The program will feature the San Diego début of Augustin Hadelich,... Read More »
