Mozart: A Very Stable Genius

Everybody knows that Mozart was a genius — a child prodigy who wowed kings and queens with feats of keyboard magic. A whiz kid who started writing symphonies age 8.  

But how did his genius work? In my next music appreciation class, we explore eight key facets of Mozart’s “divine gift.” Playful Mozart, Fierce Mozart, Brooding Mozart, Tender Mozart, Pensive Mozart, Delightful Mozart, Perfect Mozart and Genius Mozart.

Join us as we seek a closer understanding of one of the most extraordinary musicians in history.
