Alice Tully Hall To Resonate With Mozart’s Greatest Hits on December 14

The American Classical Orchestra has joined in on celebrating indoor concerts and will be performing an all-Mozart program at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center on December 14th, titled “Restore.”

Alice Tully Hall and Julliard School

New York City’s foremost period instrument orchestra is back in Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall conducted by the Orchestra’s Founder and Artistic Director Thomas Crawford and includes the composer’s substantial masterpiece, the Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola. In Crawford’s piece he’ll feature soloists Aisslinn Nosky, violin, and Maureen Murchie, viola. Later he’ll feature the Flute and Harp Concerto with harpist Parker Ramsay and flutist Emi Ferguson, in addition to Mozart’s popular Symphony No. 29.

We’ll hear from harpist Parker Ramsay and the Handel and Haydn Society’s Principal Flutist Emi Ferguson first on Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra. At just 18 years old, Mozart wrote the light-hearted Symphony No. 29 which remained a foundational piece in the composer’s career, posing as a signature of his classical style. For Sinfonia Concertante, showcase violist Maureen Munchie will have to tune her viola a half-tone higher where Mozart wanted to create a brighter sound.

Munchie has performed on both modern and Baroque violin and viola across the US and overseas with Trinity Baroque Orchestra, Handel and Haydn Society, all the way to Broadway’s pit of Tootsie, so fortunately for her this will be an easy feat. The “a fearsomely powerful musician” violinist Aisslinn Nosky will also be a featured soloist, channeling skills she’s learned from hailed The Toronto Star, the Eybler Quartet, and being Concertmaster of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston.
