Mozart Concerto and Smetana Trio
Chamber Music Houston is pleased to welcome pianist Anne-Marie McDermott in our final presentation in this special series from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. In McDermott's words, "This Mozart concerto performance stands out in my memory as an absolutely joy-filled and exhilarating experience. What a group of musicians to play a Mozart concerto with. I so love this arrangement of the D minor concerto by Carl Czerny. Somehow he captured the spirit and drama of this music with so few instruments—just the addition of the flute to the ensemble brings more depth to the work. I worship the cadenzas in this concerto that were written by Beethoven—they are a pianist’s dream!!" Enjoy this Mozart Concerto and Smetana's Trio in G minor for this limited time!
