Avri Levitan and Roi Shiloah's train journey from Berlin to Warsaw to perform a concert featuring Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante was documented by the British artist Douglas Gordon in the display "K. 364, A Journey by Train", exhibited in numerous museums and galleries worldwide. After having performed the work many times throughout Europe, they are joining us for its rendition. Mozart's last symphony is the highest achievement of western orchestral music, festive and optimistic. The tremendous Finale is an inebriating polyphonic exposition, which leaves the listener captivated and speechless.
