Step into an age of ideas, upheaval, and discovery in a concert celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States. The dynamic period ensemble Twelfth Night and fortepianist Yi-heng Yang brings to life the symphonies Mozart and Haydn as well as a rarely played, virtuosic fortepiano concerto by Julie Candeille. Candeille was a composer, pianist, actress, and singer who rose to prominence during the French Revolution, when her works and performances reflected both the turbulence of the era and the new opportunities it afforded women in the arts. The program includes Julie Candeille Piano Concerto op. 2 in D major and Mozart “Jupiter” Symphony no. 41.
