BRITTEN Simple Symphony
MOZART Piano Concerto No. 23 K. 488
BIZET Symphony in C
Spirited music abounds from youthful composers and
a budding
young performer. Rockford’s own piano prodigy
Emily Bear makes her orchestral debut with Mozart’s
charming piano concerto. At seventeen, Bizet wrote
his dashing Symphony in C, filled with delightful energy
and engaging themes. Britten’s Simple Symphony,
based on themes he wrote as a child, is filled with
whimsical and exciting movements such as
Playful Pizzicato and Frolicsom Finale.
