HOW do you celebrate the


, 250th anniversary of the birth i of one of the world’s greatest musical geniuses, on the very


; eve of the birthday? Simple. You invite an acclaimed orchestra, highly


: praised for its performances and ■ recordings of the maestro’s work, ' to perform. You get its talented director to step out as soloist in the delightful miniature violin


■


: concerto. You also invite a Lan- • cashire soprano famous the world over for her performances of arias


,™tten by that genius to ang for you. If you haven’t already guessed,


the genius in question is Wolf­ gang Amadeus Mozart, arguably the greatest composer of them all.


*: The . acclaimed Northern Chamber Orchestra, with muacal director Nicholas Ward and OTprano Amanda Roocroft (pic­


tured), bring these special birth­ day celebrations to Lancaster International Concert Series on Thursday, January 26th, in The Great Hall at Lancaster Univer­ sity.


. , It is a unique opportunity to


enjoy a complete evening of Mozart’s work, beginning with his first symphony, written around the time of his ninth birthday. The evening ends with


Mozart’s pulsating “Symphony No. 40 in G Minor”, one of the most urgent and dramatic sym­ phony’s ever written. •Tickets for this one-off event


can be booked by calling the box office on 01524 594151 or send­ ing an e-mail to: boxoffice(glan- caster.ac.uk The concert starts at 7-30
