From August 1 – 7, the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra will be in residency with students from New York City area music schools for a series of pop-up performances, open rehearsals, and recitals as a part of their ongoing collaborations with music schools across New York City. The week-long residency culminates in a concert on the Damrosch Stage featuring Mozart’s first and last symphonies with the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra, conducted by Renée and Robert Belfer Music Director Louis Langrée. A major component of the MMFO’s efforts with schools across the City of New York was preparing students to perform Mozart’s Symphony No. 1—composed when Mozart himself was merely 8 years old—and this piece will feature select students from the ongoing partnerships with participating schools, performing alongside Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra musicians. The Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra will conclude the performance with Mozart’s “Jupiter” Symphony. Performance will be livestreamed.

Participating schools and programs include Union City Music Project; UpBeat NYC; Orchestrating Dreams; Harmony Program; Corona Youth Music Project; Chamber Music Center of New York; BridgeMusik; and Harlem School of the Arts.
