MOZART RELOAD

Piano and orchestra concertos are among the most virtuosic and elaborate examples in the history of Western music. Mozart explored this genre through 27 concertos, where he experimented with the possible relationships between the solo instrument (the piano) and the orchestra — relationships that, today, can be compared to those between instrumental and electronic music.
MOZART RELOAD is a concert that takes up the idea of dialogue to further expand these relationships. Instrumental music, vocal music, lights, electronics, piano, prepared piano… and at the heart of it all, Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major.

In this performance, the concerto is revisited through the lens of contemporary music, yet it also embraces the clarity, serenity, and warmth of the classical sound.

The concert is structured in three parts:

The first part, slow and atmospheric, revisits and reuses Mozart’s materials to construct a sonic landscape that gradually organizes itself and leads us into the second part, the core of the piece: Piano Concerto No. 27, performed with two pianos and orchestra. Here, the second piano is gradually transformed throughout the piece, creating a transfiguring dialogue.
Finally, the third part acts as a joyful and optimistic coda, where fragments of Mozart’s music reappear like memories—interwoven and overlapping—to transport us to a new dimension: electroacoustic Mozart. The performance ends with an a cappella rendition of the famous melody that inspired the third movement of the same concerto.
