Mozart: Classical Musician in New York

About Mozart

Mozart is a central figure in the classical repertoire, heard in New York City on programs such as “Sorrell Conducts Mozart’s Symphony No. 40” at David Geffen Hall. His music is a frequent point of collaboration for performers and conductors including Jeannette Sorrell, Sonya Headlam, and Anthony McGill. The writing favors clear forms, quick turns of harmony, and melodic economy over spectacle. Outside the concert hall, his name persists in popular discussion through research claims about short-term cognitive effects of listening.
