Franz Schubert was just 19 when he composed his First Symphony. Developing swiftly, his Fifth is a work of charm and grace. From our own time, H.K. Gruber’s pieces, written in 1968 for his MOB ensemble, are joyful and jazzy. This “close to home” concert opens with Mozart’s sparkling overture to his greatest opera: The Marriage of Figaro.
