Additional Info
For the third consecutive season, Teddy Abrams returns to the Ogle Center with a program pairing Mozart and Haydn, two composers whose music continues to define the classical era. This year’s concert features Haydn’s Symphony No. 88, known for its wit, elegance, and joyful surprises, alongside Mozart’s Symphony No. 40, a work of striking intensity and emotional depth. Together, these symphonies highlight the contrast and connection between two masters, offering a familiar and much loved NightLites tradition for returning audiences.
