Discovering the Music of Mozart

Thursday, Feb. 29, 6 - 7:30 p.m.
Muñoz Waxman Gallery at CCA
1050 Old Pecos Trail in Santa Fe

Join conductor and educator Oliver Prezant, soprano Amy Owens, and pianist Nathan Salazar for an up close and personal experience of two celebrated Mozart arias.

During the program, Oliver will lead us in an interactive exploration of the music: the exquisite contours of the melodies, the beauty of the language, the meaning of the text, and the relationships between the vocal line and the accompaniment. 

Amy and Nathan will provide musical illustrations that will help you understand the artistic choices that make for expressive singing and artistic interpretation. 

Along the way, you’ll have a chance to share your impressions and feelings with the performers before and after we hear the arias in their entirety.

“ … an almost magical exposition of what is happening in a musical performance piece and why. It showed me, and taught me in tangible ways, how to not take music performances at face value and rather than just ‘enjoy’ it, to instead experience and participate in it more completely.” - Stewart O., audience member
