Mozart’s music is so clean and refined, and for that reason I think he’s one historic composer that sits REALLY well alongside contemporary composers. I am delighted that this concert will open with a piece from our inaugural Maria Anna Mozart Award winner, Kelly-Marie Murphy: On Rethinking Heroism in the 21st Century. It is perfect for this programme, and I think it completely transforms the way we hear Mozart after it. It’s like having the chance to see a painting you know really well set inside a completely different frame. There’s something a bit rock and roll about it!
