Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart considered the premiere of his “Prague” Symphony to be one of the happiest days of his life.
Guitarist Pablo Sainz-Villegas has performed around the globe—including a concert on a floating stage that travelled along the Amazon River!
Isidora Žebeljan’s music has been described as “a frenetic fantasy, screaming and sobbing, moving between Belgrade and New York.”
At the peak of his celebrity status, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his emotionally charged “Prague” Symphony for his fans in the European capital—one of whom described the work as a “bewitching masterpiece that carried the soul to sublime heights.” Don’t miss your chance to experience Mozart’s magical score for yourself, filled with music of unbridled energy, sensuality, and joy.

Pablo Sáinz Villegas—“the global ambassador of the Spanish guitar” (Billboard)—makes his long-awaited debut in Southam Hall performing a new work for solo guitar and orchestra by Mexican composer Arturo Márquez.

The NAC Orchestra performs for the first time two works by Serbian composer Isidora Žebeljan: The Horses of Saint Mark, a surrealist adventure that evokes the sacred chants of Byzantine monks, and Zujte Strune (Hum away, hum away, strings!), which reimagines themes from Mozart’s fairy-tale opera The Magic Flute.
