Celebrate Mozart’s 270th birthday with a joyful evening of chamber music featuring some of his most beloved works. This annual tradition brings together MSU artists for an engaging concert and concludes, as always, with birthday cookies—because no Mozart celebration is complete without a sweet finish.

Program includes Mozart’s Sonata for Piano Four Hands in B-flat Major, K. 358; the Quintet in E-flat Major for Piano and Winds, K. 452; and the Serenade in C Minor for Winds, K. 388 (384a). See the full event program.

MSU artists include pianists Deborah Moriarty and Tamar Mikeladze; clarinetists Guy Yehuda, Tasha Warren, and Minghze Wang; oboists John DeBiase and Nermis Mieses; bassoonists Michael Kroth and Sierra Watson; and horn players Alex Delperdang and Corbin Wagner.
