Mozart By Candlelight
Let us take you back in time for a magical evening of the music of Mozart surrounded by a wash of candlelight. A night of sublime music comprising core works of Mozart performed by some of Western Austrlia's leading classical musicians.
Perth Symphony Orchestra will perform their sell-out performance “Mozart by Candlelight” comprising core works of Mozart interspersed with other music that provides a reflection on Mozart and an accessible entry point to classical music. Performed by the Perth Symphony String section, this magical chamber-size orchestral concert will feature letters written by Mozart, and other narrated facts about his life, read by a local actor in each region bringing the man behind the music to life in an engaging way.
The concert was previously performed in St George’s Cathedral, but Perth Symphony has also performed “Steampunk Mozart” using a similar formula at Midland Railway Workshops. This remount will be produced by Bourby Webster, CEO and creative director of Perth Symphony, who has many years of experience producing critically acclaimed classical concerts.
