London Mozart Players Gala Extravaganza

The London Mozart Players' 60th Birthday Gala Extravaganza, with Felicity Lott, Isabelle van Keulen and Howard Shelley performing Mozart, Rossini, Mendelssohn and Shostakovich.

Presented by Catherine Bott.

The London Mozart Players celebrate their sixtieth birthday with their Gala Extravaganza, held at Fairfield, Croydon. Founded in 1949 by violinist and conductor Harry Blech, the group has established a reputation for high quality performances not only of Mozart and his contemporaries but also the music of today.

The concert features works by Mozart as well as later romantic composers - Mendelssohn and Rossini - and also includes a Shostakovich symphony. The orchestra is joined by soloists who have had long associations with it - soprano Felicity Lott sings Mozart, violinist Isabelle van Keulen and pianist/conductor Howard Shelley.
