The concert is bookended by favourites from Mozart and Tchaikovsky. Opening with the instantly recognisable overture from Mozart’s enchanting opera The Magic Flute, let the joyful energy and sprightly melodies transport you to a world of fantasy and adventure, before being swept away by the powerful emotions of Tchaikovsky’s final masterpiece.
