Emperor’s Concerto

We were excited to share in the Utah Symphony’s start to the season with three classic works. Famously written the night before its premiere performance, Mozart’s Overture to Don Giovanni foreshadows the fate that awaits an unrepentant villain. This epic warning is contrasted with two works that herald a banner of freedom—Beethoven’s grand “Emperor” Piano Concerto and Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5. Each composer directly defies the sorrows of the wars that were raging as they composed these works—instead, celebrating the heroics of their countrymen and expressing pride in their homelands. What an impressive start for the Utah Symphony. Thank you for including Sharetix!

One of our groups that attended the concert had these things to say:

“The beauty of living life free from addiction and enjoying the art. It made me cry. Being engaged was great as well.”

“It was great getting out and enjoying something to help me meditate and relax.”

“Great music.”

“The chance to get out.

“It was very elevated and inspiring.”
