Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival Presents Mostly Mostly Mozart Two-Concert Series

Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival (CCCMF) celebrating its 40th anniversary season as Cape Cod’s premiere presenter of summer chamber music, presents its two-concert series Mostly Mostly Mozart on Monday, August 12, 7:30 pm, Church of the Holy Spirit, 204 Monument Road, Orleans, and on Tuesday, August 13, Cotuit Center for the Arts: 4404 Falmouth Road (Route 28), Cotuit. The series is preceded by a pre-concert reception on Monday, August 12, 5:30 pm at The Wequassett Resort and Golf Resort, 2173 Rte. 28, Harwich.
The 40th season celebration continues with CCCMF’s focus on the influential composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a child prodigy who became a prolific composer during his short life. The first of CCCMF’s two-concert series titled Mostly Mostly Mozart … and Brahms, in Orleans, features members of Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra, New York’s beloved summertime orchestra. The evening’s performance features Mozart preludes, trios and quartets culminating in a performance of Brahms’ “Trio in C Major for Violin, Cello and Piano, Opus 87” with former CCCMF Artistic Director and pianist Brian Zeger as guest artist in the Brahms piano trio.
The second concert in the series featuring both the Mostly Mozart Festival musicians and CCCMF’s Co-Artistic Directors, in Cotuit, offers a completely different program, including works by Mozart and Franz Schubert. All three works performed include Co-Artistic Director Jon Nakamatsu on piano, and the Mozart Trio in E-flat features Co-Artistic Director, Jon Manasse on clarinet.
