Symphony of the Lakes will present “Classical Passions” on Saturday, November 16th at 7pm.

Join us for an enchanting evening of classical music featuring three masterpieces that span the brilliance of the Classical period. The program opens with C.P.E. Bach’s Symphony in D Major, Wq. 183/1, a vibrant and expressive work that showcases the transition from Baroque grandeur to Classical elegance, full of dynamic contrasts and spirited energy.

Next, we present W.A. Mozart’s Divertimento in D Major, K. 251, a delightful and charming piece, originally written as entertainment music for a festive occasion. Filled with graceful melodies and lively rhythms, Mozart’s Divertimento exudes lighthearted joy and masterful orchestration.

The evening culminates with L.V. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 in C Major, Op. 21, a symphonic debut that, while rooted in the traditions of Haydn and Mozart, reveals Beethoven’s burgeoning genius. Its bold harmonies, innovative structure, and rhythmic drive offer a glimpse of the revolutionary symphonies that would follow.

This concert promises to transport you through the elegance, wit, and boldness of three great composers—perfect for lovers of classical music.
