Two “crowning” jewels will adorn this year’s Alice Millar Birthday concert: The Symphonie Concertante, Op. 81, by Joseph Jongen and the Coronation Mass, K. 317, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Jongen’s epic Symphonie offers luminous harmonies and blazing climaxes that unleash the full sonic power of the organ and orchestra. Mozart’s Coronation Mass is a sumptuous work that blends stirring choral passages and exquisite solo writing. Rounding out the program will be the sublimely beautiful concert aria “Ch’io mi scordi di te,” sung by soprano Alison Wahl. Stephen Alltop will perform the solo piano part, originally played by Mozart himself.
