A work Mozart wrote for a king, but which the cash-strapped composer sold “for a song” to a music publisher, will be featured during “Chamber Music Masterpieces,” a concert by the Daytona Solisti String Quartet.
The concert, the second in Daytona Solisti’s Winter Festival celebrating the group’s 20th anniversary, also will include a Mozart serenade featured in the 1984 Oscar-winning biopic “Amadeus,” and Orlando-based guitarist Miles McConnell will perform classical works and Irish tunes.
“Chamber Music Masterpieces” will be presented at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16, at Port Orange Presbyterian Church, 4662 S. Clyde Morris Blvd., Port Orange, where Solisti is in residence. A $15 donation is requested at the door. For more information call 386-562-5423 or go online at daytonasolisti.com.
Composed of professional musicians from throughout Central Florida and Northeast Florida, Daytona Solisti performs the music of the master composers of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Solisti quartet will perform Mozart’s String Quartet in D major, K. 575, and his serenade “Eine Kleine Nachtmusic” (German for “a little night music”).
Along with his arrangements of Irish tunes, McConnell will perform the works of early 19th-century guitar virtuoso and composer Mauro Giuliani, mid-20th-century Spanish composer Joaquín Turina, and contemporary French classical guitarist and composer Arnaud Dumond.
