The love of the art is what keeps great composers writing,
even in difficult times.

Schubert was miserable as a teacher
but created the beautiful Symphony No. 5

The financially desperate Mozart, none-the-less, wrote
the sparkling A Major Piano Concerto.

Despite the woes in Europe, Hindemith created
a study of Cupid and Psyche.

The FCS's keyboard specialist, Roberta Mielke, joins us
for a concert of dichotomies.

"The elegance and charm of Mozart and Schubert are at their best in this post-Valentines Day concert," Kenney said, identifying two of the featured composers. "Hindemith of course will 'get Cupid’s point across' with his Cupid and Psyche Overture. Schubert’s Fifth Symphony is one of the most beloved works from early nineteenth-century Vienna. Mozart’s K488 Piano Concerto is one of his most often played, whereas the Hindemith overture is almost never played. I suspect that would make it a Fort Collins premiere."
