Toronto Symphony Orchestra | Emanuel Ax and Mozart

Richard Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra, famously immortalized as the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey, captivates with its cosmic grandeur and awe-inspiring majesty. The performance also features the esteemed Emanuel Ax, one of today’s foremost pianists, in Mozart’s majestic Piano Concerto No. 25, K. 503, known for its elegant lyricism and brilliance. Opening the evening is Tippett’s Concerto for Double String Orchestra, an exhilarating piece full of rhythmic vitality, setting a dynamic tone for the program. This concert is a masterful blend of energy, majesty, and refinement.
