There are certain composers whose imprint on history is hard to overestimate, lasting for centuries after their death. This is certainly the case for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose legacy continues to resound in Western musical culture.

In a Rossini Club series featuring works by composers over the last three centuries, we will be chronicling the influence and impact of Mozart on Carl Maria von Weber, Camille Saint-Saëns, Jörg Widmann, Heinrich Neumann and Francis Poulenc, all devotees of the older master.

This concert takes place in the Great Hall of the Atheneum on Sunday August 14, 1-2pm.
