The 9th edition of “Mozart of Sorrow,” an ambitious project featuring exclusively Mozart’s works in minor keys, is set to take place. Held annually on the anniversary of the composer’s death, this concert breaks away from the typical image of Mozart as a cheerful composer and delves deeply into the “sorrowful” aspect of his music—which accounts for only a few percent of his entire body of work. A distinguished ensemble of accomplished musicians, led by Toshiyuki Muramatsu, will come together to present a special evening where audiences can fully immerse themselves in the world of minor keys—from art songs and piano masterpieces to string quintets and the majestic Requiem. With commentary by Shigeaki Saegusa and Junichi Ozawa, who will share the scenes and deep insights behind the music, the audience at Suntory Hall’s Blue Rose will be invited into Mozart’s musical world—a realm where deep introspection and passion intertwine. While performers and the program are subject to change, this one-night-only special program promises to be a precious experience that allows you to touch the delicate melancholy deep within Mozart’s soul.
