Mozart Among Friends

Fresh off the Greenville Symphony’s season‑opening performances of Mozart’s Requiem, we return to the composer’s world — this time in the intimate glow of the Gunter Theatre, where his brilliance feels especially close and alive. In this up‑close setting, Mozart’s music sparkles: you’ll hear the wit, warmth, and emotional electricity that made him one of history’s most irresistible voices, revealed with extraordinary clarity.

The evening opens with the Overture to Don Giovanni — music that plunges us into high drama from the first notes. Legend has it Mozart completed this overture on the very morning of the opera’s 1787 Prague premiere, and you can feel that crackling, last‑minute urgency in the writing. It’s Mozart the dramatist in a nutshell: danger and delight sharing the same stage.
