Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro Overture bursts with energy and charm, setting the stage for one of his most beloved operas. Its lively melodies and sparkling orchestration capture the humor and intrigue of the story, offering a thrilling start to the concert.

The Clarinet Concerto, composed in the final year of Mozart's life, is a masterpiece of lyricism and serenity. Its sublime melodies highlight the clarinet’s expressive range, from the graceful Allegro to the soulful Adagio, often regarded as one of classical music’s most beautiful movements. The lively Rondo finale adds an elegant touch, cementing this concerto as a jewel in Mozart’s repertoire.

Soloist Ivan Rogachev is an exceptional clarinetist whose career spans solo, orchestral, and chamber music. A laureate of prestigious competitions, including 1st Prize at the Weber International Clarinet Competition, Ivan has performed with leading ensembles such as the Southbank Sinfonia and London Sinfonietta Academy. He has earned multiple accolades, including the Buffet Clarinet Prize and Hattori Foundation Award, and has appeared across Russia, Europe, and the UK in prominent festivals and orchestras.

Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 is a work of profound intensity, written during a tumultuous period of his life. Its dramatic G minor tonality creates a sense of urgency and emotional depth, from the restless opening motif to the stormy finale. Balancing drama with elegance, the symphony remains one of Mozart’s most celebrated works, showcasing his genius in blending emotion with classical perfection.
