The Danbury Symphony Orchestra will be performing Borodin’s Symphony #2 in B minor in its entirety and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor.
Robert Fertitta is a retired music educator and has performed on the piano, organ and harpsichord for nearly fifty years. As pianist, he has given solo recitals, chamber music programs, and over 150 recitals with students at the Purchase College Conservatory of Music, where he was on the faculty for thirty years. Mr. Fertitta’s cadenzas for six of Mozart’s piano concertos have been performed in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Australia.
Mozart’s Piano Concerto in C minor consists of three movements and was composed in the winter of 1785-1786. This work is one of Mozart’s most recognized compositions in the concerto genre and is considered to be one of Mozart’s greatest piano concertos.
