Center for Musical Excellence | Mozart on the Meadow

Presented by Center for Musical Excellence (CME) and Music in the Somerset Hills (MISH).

By popular demand, CME and MISH will come together again on Saturday, September 25, 2021 – at the same Bedminster estate – to present another program from the age of Mozart, this time focusing on vocal and choral music. The program will feature performances of favorite opera arias and duets, as well as a complete performance of Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy, conducted by Stephen Sands, with Min Kwon (piano) and the Somerset Hills Chorus. The Fantasy, composed in 1808, is a forerunner of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (premiered sixteen years later), with its plea for universal brotherhood and its “pre-echoes” of the Ode to Joy theme, which dominates the final movement.
