Tulsa Symphony's own Rossitza Goza (violin) and Jeff Cowen (viola) are showcased in a concert featuring the music of Mozart, Ravel and Richard Strauss. Mozart composed The Abduction From the Seraglio at the request of Austrian Emperor Joseph II, who said its only flaws were that it was too good for the Viennese and there were too many notes. The Symphony will play the overture to the opera and also Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra, featuring Goza and Cowen. The virtuosity of the entire orchestra continues with Ravel's La Valse, inspired by the "Waltz King," Johann Strauss. The concert closes with music from one of Richard Strauss' most enduring and light-hearted works, the comic opera Der Rosenkavalier. David Lockington is guest conductor.
