TO MOZART, WITH LOVE

During our initial prototyping, the musicians shared with the team that they were interested in finding ways to make audiences feel more comfortable. This performance sought to do that by evoking the original spirit of chamber music: a small performance in the casual and comfortable setting of someone's home. The set for this vignette was designed to elicit the ambiance of a café, with café noises played in the background.

The musicians wanted to share some of the things they loved about Mozart, so they wrote letters to the composer — echoing the humorous and intimate letters Mozart and his sister exchanged — that we scattered around the tables for audience members to read.
