Mostly Mozart

I know I have a tendency to announce only the high profile concerts I do in New York, and even then only at the last minute; thus those of you who have busy schedules or who are not in the immediate New York area don't get a chance to see me perform. And I'm sure that some of you couldn't care less ("Tell more stories about hoodlum Hassidim!" I hear you cry). Nevertheless, I am here to tell you that I will once again be on the stage of Avery Fisher Hall this coming Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for the Mostly Mozart Festival. We (the Concert Chorale of New York) will be performing Mozart's "Coronation" Mass (Missa in C, K. 317), conducted by Louis Langreé.

And for those of you who are not in New York or are in New York but extremely busy, this concert will be televised on PBS as a part of the Live from Lincoln Center series. Check your local listings for the air dates, but the performance will be taped live (isn't that an oxymoron?) on Wednesday, Aug. 2 at 8:00 PM. It's a small choir, so I'm sure you'll be able to pick me out in the crowd.

So set your TiVos, everyone! I guarantee it'll be a good performance. In case you're curious, the other half of the program includes Garrick Ohlsson performing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 26 in D Major ("Coronation"). Can you see a theme developing with this concert?
