IN 1786, at the age of eight, Hummel went to live and study with Mozart in Vienna. During his two years as a lodger in the family’s apartment in the Domgasse, he would have listened many times to his teacher singing, humming and trying out the odd phrase from the music composed and performed which included Mozart’s masterpieces Le Nozze de Figaro and Don Giovanni. 

Hummel went on to arrange several of Mozart’s Concertos and Symphonies for chamber ensemble. Hummel’s arrangement of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22 brings a new dimension to the music, highlighting different voices and instruments, and allowing listeners to appreciate the composition from a different perspective. 

An unforgettable musical experience is promised as the Valda Silvy Ensemble delivers a mesmerising rendition of this piano concerto, and the Penrith Youth Orchestra breathes life into Beethoven’s iconic Finale from his Ninth Symphony.
