Also on the program is music by Joseph Schwantner and Franz Waxman’s Carmen Fantasie, played by Stanger Young Artist Audition winner Joshua Brown. “Mozart Madness,” with scenes from five Mozart operas, follows in November. In January, “The French Baroque and Beyond” showcases music by Vivaldi, Telemann, Mouret, and other composers of the period. The Apollo Chorus takes center stage in March when it joins forces with the ESO in a not-to-be-missed performance of Mendelssohn’s Elijah.
