“We’re so happy to have back Kelly Hall-Tompkins who is going to be playing an incredible piece by Jeff Beal who is a composer living today. You will know him, you know his music for various reasons. Maybe the most immediate thing that I can think of is if you know the television show called House Of Cards, he was the person that wrote that music.” – Eric Jacobsen, Music Director.
Guest Conductor Cosette Justo Valdés leads a dynamic and inspiring program centered around Mozart’s monumental Symphony No. 41, known as the “Jupiter.” The symphony became Mozart’s final and longest symphonic work, named “Jupiter” after the king of the Roman gods. The symphony’s triumphant finale is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in all classical music.
Acclaimed Violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins returns to Orlando to perform Jeff Beal’s Body in Motion, a work written especially for her that blends virtuosic energy with cinematic lyricism and contemporary style.
To open the concert, Michael Torke’s Ash fuses minimalism with classical style, energized with a distinctive Beethovenian drive.
At just thirteen years old, Asher Schmidt was named a winner of the 2024 National Young Composers Challenge with his orchestral work, Caprice for Orchestra. Now, we are honored to welcome Schmidt back to Orlando to have their work programmed alongside Mozart.
This program celebrates musical innovation across generations, from Mozart’s timeless genius to bold new voices shaping classical music today
