Friday, Jan. 22, 7:30 p.m.It’s all about Mozart for the first Vancouver Symphony Orchestra streams of the New Year, with a pair of concerts Jan. 17 and 22.
What’s in a name? There’s nothing wrong with calling the generous seven movements a “partita,” though scholars note that the title on the manuscript isn’t in Mozart’s hand. But by “partita,” “serenade,” or any other name, the music is exceptional. The pairing of the Gran Partita with Jocelyn Morlock’s Zart is a lovely idea. Like countless others young musicians, composer Morlock was inspired by the 1984 filmed version of Shaffer’s play. Her 2006 Zart for chamber orchestra was commissioned by Festival Vancouver; as VSO Composer in Residence, Morlock programmed the work in 2016 for a VSO at the Annex program exploring the links between “old” and “new” music. This designed for streaming rendition will be a welcome revival.
