Caramoor Center Launches Music Festival with Pianist Mitsuko Uchi, 6/26

Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts launches its 65th Caramoor International Music Festival on Saturday, June 26 at 8:30pm with dynamic pianist Mitsuko Uchida, considered by many to be the premiere performer of the works of Mozart, conducting the Orchestra of St. Luke's from the piano in a performance of the composer's last piano concerto, No. 27 in B flat Major, K. 595.

The New York Times has raved that "when [Uchida] plays Mozart, elegance and abandon come as close to each other as they ever will." The all-Mozart evening of collaborative music-making will open with Michael Barrett, CEO and General Director of Caramoor, leading St. Luke's in Mozart Symphonies Nos. 25 and 34.

Tickets for Caramoor's Opening Night concert are $15.00, $22.50, $37.50, $50.00, $65.00, and $80.00 and may be purchased at the Caramoor Box Office, 914.232.1252 or ordered online at www.caramoor.org. Groups of 16 or more may purchase discounted tickets by contacting Matthew Scarella at 914.232.5035 ext. 252 or matthew@caramoor.org.
