Join the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra and star horn player Sarah Willis for an exciting musical journey where Vienna meets Havana. Under the baton of Grammy-nominated Alastair Willis, the evening opens with Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio Overture before Sarah steps into the spotlight for Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3.
The second half turns up the heat as the orchestra dives into Latin and Cuban colors. Stravinsky’s playful Pulcinella Suite is paired with beloved classics such as “El Bodeguero,” “Dos Gardenias,” and “El Manisero.” At the heart of the program is the infectiously joyful “Rondo alla Mambo,” a piece that imagines how Mozart might have written if he had spent time in Havana, full of elegance, rhythm, and humor.
