The Knights and Emanuel Ax - Music Worcester The 2026-2027 Season kicks off with a performance of Mozart concertos by the legendary Emanuel Ax and The Knights chamber orchestra. Ax is routinely included on any list of the country’s best classical pianists, while The Knights are an adventurous group of musicians, who have been called the future of classical music in America. Together, they deliver a program that features two Mozart piano concertos – No. 17 in G Major, and No. 25 in C Major, plus and an overture by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a French composer of African descent from the early Classical Era. Enjoy the levity of French Classical music (ornamentation, color, decadence) alongside Mozart’s willingness to stick by, yet stylize the rules. Program Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges – Overture to L’amant anonyme W.A. Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K. 453 W.A. Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 25 in C major, K. 503

Boris Giltburg: Well Tempered Clavier I Curtis Performance Hall Assumption University Tsotsis Family Academic Center 500 Salisbury St. Worcester, MA 01609 Part of BACHtoberfest Weekend Deeply sensitive, insightful and compelling, pianist Boris Giltburg performs Bach’s unforgettable Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1. This near-meditative journey through every key signature, each with two movements (Prelude and Fugue) allows the listener to experience Bach’s keyboard writing as he intended: musical practices to explore all ways of writing. Moscow-born Israeli pianist Boris Giltburg is known for his compelling interpretations of piano greats, performing with some of the world’s most distinguished ensembles, and this solo recital of Bach engages the listener in an exploration of Bach’s work on the modern-day keyboard. An avid interpreter of all periods of the classical music repertoire, Giltburg often dives deep into the workings of the composer through his blog “Classical Music for All”
