Uchida and Mozart

January 2016

This tour marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration between the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and legendary pianist Mitsuko Uchida. The Artistic Partnership is focused on Mozart’s piano concertos, with Mitsuko Uchida directing the orchestra from the keyboard.

The extensive Europe tour will feature 5 concerts in Spain (Alicante, Valencia, Barcelona, Oviedo, and Bilbao), and further performances in Luxembourg, Salzburg and Frankfurt. Each concert pairs two of Mozart’s piano concertos, separated by Mozart’s Divertimento K. 137 lead by the MCO concertmaster. The tour concludes with a chamber music concert with Mitsuko Uchida and Jörg Widmann in Frankfurt.

Mitsuko Uchida and the MCO collaborated together for the first time on a Spain and Portugal tour in 2013, with Mozart concertos directed by Mitsuko Uchida from the keyboard. This first collaboration inspired the mutual wish to continue and further develop the Artistic Partnership
