Benjamin Britten's fascinating neoclassical work “A Simple Symphony” (1934) for strings is based entirely on material from works written by the composer between the ages of nine and twelve. With its humorous and childlike character, the work fits perfectly with the charitable purpose and the pre-Christmas season. Afterwards, the outstanding concert pianist Fil Liotis will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, K. 488, one of the most popular works in music literature. The second part of the concert will feature Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 8, which is characterized by cheerfulness, vitality, and musical humor.
