2. Mozart & Bartok 

Led by Austin Chanu with Concertmaster Joo Young Oh, this program kind of moves from Tchaikovsky’s dramatic flair into Bartók’s full-throttle orchestral color, somehow.Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet: Fantasy Overture gets the whole thing going in a rush of energy, passionate, sweeping, and instantly compelling. Then Mozart’s Flute Concerto follows, bringing a lighter, more lyrical mood, featuring QPO’s Aleksandr Haskin as the soloist. After the interval, Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra takes over with bold rhythms, vivid sound, and one standout moment after another across the entire group, until it all lands in a truly thrilling finale. An evening not to be missed!
