Hummel’s Potpourri mit Fantasie, an acoustical bouquet, written in 1820 borrows popular melodies of the time from Mozart and Rossini, woven together by Hummel into a brilliant fantasy showcase for viola and Ridout’s ’24-carat dark-gold tone’ The Arts Desk. Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante will pair Ridout’s viola with the violin of our director/leader, Tomo Keller, in one of Mozart’s most iconic works.
