Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ‘Haffner’ Serenade
Béla Bartók Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta

Chromatica Orchestra
Peter Manning conductor

Mozart’s ‘Haffner’ Serenade, written for the lavish Salzburg wedding of the wealthy Marie Elisabeth Haffner, is music that sparkles with joy and elegance. Brimming with charm, grace, and brilliance, it captures Mozart at his most spirited and dazzling.

Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta brings a striking contrast: a groundbreaking masterpiece whose folkinspired rhythms, atmospheric textures, and haunting beauty made it an instant success after its 1936 premiere.

Together, these works promise an unforgettable evening — the timeless elegance of Mozart alongside Bartók’s bold innovation, performed with fresh energy by the brilliant young players of the UK’s exciting new chamber orchestra.
