MOZART: Bassoon Concerto in B-flat Major K191
Heejeong Jeong, bassoon
BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 6 ("Pastorale")
Featuring “Pastorale” art works by local student and adult artists.
Experience an evening of timeless classical music with the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra at Thayer’s Center for the Arts. Join us for two audience favorites by Mozart and Beethoven, plus a piece highlighting one of the most extraordinary instruments of the orchestra - the bassoon.
Mozart's Overture from The Abduction from Seraglio is upbeat and fun, evoking a carefree freedom and peace.
His Bassoon Concerto continues that theme of joy and cheer. It is an extraordinary piece giving the spotlight to an instrument rarely heard solo in today's classical repertoire, and we are excited to welcome Heejeong Jeong for the first time.
