Julian Schwarz makes his Tucson Symphony debut performing a concerto composed for one of the greatest cellists of the 20th century, Mstislav Rostropovich. One of Mozart’s finest early symphonies, composed when he was 17, shows a mature composer in command of his craft as he balances lyrical grace with vigorous energy. Adès’ 2006 piece, Three Studies from Couperin, features melodic material from a popular harpsichord piece by the French Baroque composer, organist and harpsichordist.
