Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Flute Concerto No. 1

Mozart Symphony No. 39

Winner of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Sphinx Organization’s Medal of Excellence, flutist Demarre McGill appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as soloist aged just 15. Since then he’s gone on to establish himself at the forefront of his craft, here joining Music Director Earl Lee and the A2SO for Mozart’s dazzling flute concerto.

 Andrea Casarrubios’s colorful and dynamically juxtaposed Herencia also features on the program, and the concert concludes with Mozart’s Symphony No. 39, the poised and propulsive first of his final trio of symphonies.
