American Classical Orchestra
Morning Stars
Founder and Artistic Director Thomas Crawford conducts the overture for Mozart’s opera buffa La finta semplice, his first full-length opera, followed by Song Hee Lee’s light Mozartean soprano voice in the composer’s timeless Exsultate, Jubilate, which he wrote as a teenager for the castrato opera star Veranzio Rauzzini. The program concludes with Haydn’s Symphony No. 6, a fine example of program music evoking the morning sounds of nature, and the first of three early symphonies he composed for his new employer, Prince Paul Anton Esterházy.
