ACO Mozart's Last Symphonies with Richard Tognetti at Concert Hall, QPAC

To celebrate his 25 years at the helm of the ACO, Richard Tognetti directs the Orchestra in a triumphant performance of Mozart’s last symphonic masterworks.

It was Tognetti’s first year as Artistic Director when he performed Mozart’s last three symphonies under the visionary baton of early music legend Frans Brüggen.

Now, as we celebrate his 25th year leading the Australian Chamber Orchestra, this landmark program is revisited, this time with Tognetti directing.

Mozart composed these three symphonies in a surge of inspiration between June and August 1788. He wasn’t to know they would be his last. But from the sunny lyricism of the 39th, to the tragic cast of the 40th, to the inspired invention of the 41st, they form a mighty epitaph to the work of a musical genius.
