The Oak Ridge Symphony Orchestra and Oak Ridge Chorus will perform an All-Mozart Concert on Saturday.

The concert is presented by the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association, and it will be led by Maestro Dan Allcott.

It’s scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, November 5, at the First United Methodist Church of Oak Ridge.

The concert will feature the Oak Ridge Chorus performing Mozart’s “Coronation” Mass with the Oak Ridge Symphony, and Mozart’s “Divertimento in F major.”  The concert will also feature guest artist, Gabriel Lefkowitz, currently in his final season as concertmaster of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, in a performance of Mozart’s “Violin Concerto No. 5.”

There’s something for everyone in this concert featuring the music of the world’s best-known composer, a press release said.

“In my opinion, there are very few composers whose music warrants an exclusive evening of music—Mozart is one,” Allcott said. “The three pieces on the concert represent different aspects of Mozart as a composer. The ‘Coronation’ Mass shows Mozart’s skill and enthusiasm in writing for voices and orchestra. The ‘Violin Concerto No. 5’ (nicknamed ‘Turkish’) is an example of a virtuoso composer writing for a virtuoso performer, highlighting what was then a very popular element in music—eastern influences from the Ottoman Empire.”

The Oak Ridge Civic Music Association is a proud participant in the Penny4Arts program and offers free admission for students 18 and under to all Oak Ridge Symphony Orchestra and Chorus performances. Tickets for adults are $25, and tickets for young adults, ages 19-29, are just $10.

The Oak Ridge Civic Music Association presents professional performances in the Oak Ridge community with its symphony, chorus, and chamber music series.  Subscription and individual tickets may be purchased online at www.ORCMA.org or by calling (865) 483-5569.

Support for the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association is provided by the Tennessee Arts Commission and WUOT FM 91.9.
