For nearly 200 years, it was thought to be lost

In 1961, one of the greatest works for cello of the classical era was rediscovered in a Museum in Prague. Now, Mercury’s principal cellist (and an early music specialist) Beiliang Zhu tackles this stunning work.

Plus you’ll be treated to Mozart’s Symphony No. 29, showcasing effortless brilliance and charm (in other words: “pure Mozart”).

Each work will be performed on period (rather than modern) instruments – allowing you the chance to hear the actual sounds the great composers would have imagined while creating these works.

This concert is made possible in part by the Houston Endowment, the Brown Foundation, the Cullen Trust for the Performing Arts, the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance, and by supporters like you.
