Mozart Wind Serenades at East Neuk Festival

Some of Mozart’s closest, best beloved friends were wind players, and he wrote some of his most delightful masterpieces for them. This concert brings together two gems, a beautifully contrasted pair of serenades. K. 388, in the rarely used key of C minor, is cut from similar cloth to Don Giovanni – there is darkness in its heart, for all its glorious tunes. K. 375, meanwhile, belongs to the warm, complicated comedy world of The Marriage of Figaro, full of bonhomie and good spirits.
