Vashon Maury Chamber Orchestra presents Mozart in Prague

“My Praguers understand me”––Mozart’s famous quote is the inspiration for Vashon Maury Chamber Orchestra’s spring concert. The program features Mozart masterpieces and charismatic works by Czech composers, including the dreamy “Idyll” by Leos Janacek and a collection of movements by Smetana, Suk and Martinu.

Soloists are Richard Reed, on Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3, and graduating senior Graham Peet, playing the first movement of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4. Reed, a Vashon resident, has been Principal Horn with Tacoma Symphony Orchestra for more than two decades and is a founding member of Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra.

Traditionally, the orchestra offers a popular kids’ concert Saturday morning:“Czech-Up” with selections by Mozart, Martinu, Smetana and Janacek.
