The Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra presents a concert featuring one of only two symphonies Mozart composed in minor keys. Symphony No. 40 in G Minor highlights Mozart’s intrigue in the darker art movement known as Strum und Drang (Storm and Stress), in which stronger emotions were showcased. The concert will also feature music from Rossini’s The Barber of Seville, a piece described as one of the greatest opera buffa of all time.
