MOZART Symphony No. 35, “Haffner”
MOZART Piano Concerto No. 23, K.488
BIZET Symphony No. 1

Bizet’s Symphony No. 1, commonly known as “Symphony in C,” was a student assignment from Bizet’s time at the Paris Conservatoire. The work of the seventeen-year-old youngster was largely forgotten until 1935 when it surfaced in the dusty archives of the Conservatoire library. Mozart’s famous “Haffner” Symphony and the Piano Concerto No. 23 suffered no such neglect as both are perennial concert favorites.

About Music Center at Strathmore:

The stunning new Music Center at Strathmore is an ideal location for concerts, corporate meetings, product launches, television broadcasts, black-tie galas, fundraising events, and private parties. The building takes its cues from the rolling hills and park-like setting with a softly undulating roof that appears to merge into the steep hills of the Strathmore property.

With its soaring glass walls and windows throughout, beautiful natural light fills interior spaces of the Music Center, and the accents of natural wood make the spaces warm and inviting. A six-story glass wall in the Lockheed Martin Lobby overlooks an 11-acre site of greenery.
