Lamb & Hayward Curator's Series: Mozart Goes to Paris - SOLD OUT
At the age of 22, Mozart had arrived in Paris, eager to impress. His 31st symphony did just that with its radical use of the orchestra, brilliant writing and breathtaking finale.
Philip Dadson, of New Zealand’s groundbreaking percussion ensemble From Scratch, was also hoping to capture the attention of Parisians, but for a very different reason.
His miniature Fax to Paris was composed in protest at the continuing French nuclear testing in the Pacific during the 1990s.
Frenchman Darius Milhaud on the other hand left Paris behind to explore the jazz halls of 1920s Harlem, New York, where he found inspiration for what became his ballet score La creation du monde.
