About this event

«The violin has four strings, yet infinite voices.»
Allow virtuoso Isabelle Faust to explore the endless possibilities with you, as she brings the violin repertoire of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to the fore. According to Faust, music exists to «spiritualise mankind», and Mozart’s music certainly has the ability to transport the listener to a higher place. Experience it in this concert, from the timeless elegance of Rondo for Violin and Orchestra to the youthful exuberance of Violin Concerto N˚ 2, written when Mozart was just 18 years old.
