Mozart's Sinfonia featured at Neilson Hays

Neilson Hays Library presents "Symphonies For Six", an evening of music performed by a group of international musicians on Sunday from 7-8.30pm.

The audiences will be presented with a classical re-incarnation of the baroque concerto grosso in Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante In E-Flat Major, K 364, edited by Christopher Hogwood. The piece was originally scored for solo, violin and viola with orchestra.

The version for a string sextet was created by an unknown arranger in 1808, not long after Mozart's death. Dispersing material from the original solo lines among the other parts, the chamber version gives a more truly collaborative spin to the work.

Another piece on the repertoire will be Beethoven's Symphony No.6 In F Major, Op 68 (also known as the Pastoral Symphony). Abounding with birdsongs, bagpipe drones, folk tunes, country dances, and other pastoral tropes, each of the movement titles outline a part of the day.

The string sextet version was created by a contemporary of Beethoven, Michael Gotthard Fischer, during his lifetime.

Set to render the two pieces will be Chot Buasuwan and Hayne Kim, violin; Miti Wisuthumporn and Omporn Kowintha, viola; and Panyaphat Wongwechwiwat and Leslie Tan, cello.

They will give another performance at Siam Society, Asok Road, on Aug 2 at 7pm.

Tickets cost 950 baht (850 baht for members) for the Sunday show; and 800 baht (600 baht for members and 200 baht for students) for the Aug 2 concert.
