Gil Shaham Plays Mozart
About This Event
Gil Shaham, the acclaimed violinist, joins the New York Philharmonic at David Geffen Hall to perform Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5. This classical music event promises an evening of exceptional artistry in New York City.
About Violin Concerto No. 5(concerto)
Mozart wrote his Violin Concerto No. 5 in 1775, shaping it in the expected fast–slow–fast arc while letting the outer movements wander into brief tempo detours. The finale’s “Turkish” nickname points to period Viennese fascination with Ottoman-style color, heard here as a theatrical change in accent and character. At David Geffen Hall, Gil Shaham joins the New York Philharmonic in a program of Mozart concertos and companion pieces. Its lasting point is Mozart’s balance of elegance and sly disruption, kept within classical proportions.
