Nicholas Collon conducts Aurora Orchestra for tonight's all-Mozart programme, which features two of Britain's brightest young talents as its soloists - pianist Tom Poster and soprano Sophie Bevan - together with readings from the actor Samuel West. The piano features prominently in the first half: after the so-called 'LΓΌtzow' Concerto (written for Countess Antonia LΓΌtzow) comes one of Mozart's most celebrated concert arias, Ch'io mi scordi te?, for soprano with piano obbligato and orchestra. The two works in the second half - the popular sacred solo motet, Exsultate Jubilate (originally written for a castrato) and the brilliantly vibrant Symphony No. 29 - were composed when the composer was still a teenager.
