Experience the miraculous chemistry that happens when two great musical minds fuse into one, as guest pianist Angela Hewitt interprets Mozart on Southam Hall’s stage.
Montreal-based composer Keiko Devaux loves playing with electroacoustic sounds then translating them into emotional and genre-blurring music, resulting in beautiful and otherworldly effects.
Music Director Alexander Shelley leads the evening’s performance.
Our concert opens with Devaux’s Listening Underwater, which was written especially for the NAC Orchestra and had its world premiere in Southam Hall in May 2023. This magical work, inspired by the communications of whales and other sea life, transports us to an organic underwater environment that is both familiar and mysterious.
Ottawa-born guest pianist Angela Hewitt performs Mozart like no one else, capturing the emotion Mozart put into this timeless work. Do not be surprised if your fellow audience members demand that Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 be played over and over.
The Orchestra will also take on Beethoven’s super-charged Fifth Symphony, a piece that is best experienced live. As one of the most recognized works in music history, it truly has “no predecessor, no successor in composition” (Christoph Eshenbach, conductor). You will walk away covered in goosebumps, more than two centuries after its first performance in 1808.
