The first part of the concert will begin with two works by W. A. Mozart. One of the composer’s most famous overtures, The Marriage of Figaro, captures Mozart’s brilliance, wit, and effervescent spirit. Before the intermission, the Orchestra and soloist Joan Enric Lluna will perform Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, a piece that blends virtuosity with deep expressiveness.
Joan Enric Lluna, one of the most distinguished musicians of his generation on the international stage, combines his career as a clarinettist with conducting and teaching.
As both conductor and conductor-soloist, Lluna has led various European orchestras, including the Manchester Camerata, Lucerne Festival Strings, Covent Garden Chamber Orchestra, OCV of Palau de les Arts, and the Valencia Orchestra. In April 2019, he made his debut in the chamber hall of the Berlin Philharmonic and the Karl Philipp Emanuel Bach Hall in Frankfurt Oder, conducting the Berliner Camerata to a warm reception from the audience.
As a soloist, he has performed on major European stages under conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Gianandrea Noseda, Juanjo Mena, and Neville Marriner, and alongside chamber groups such as the Brodsky, Tokyo, Alexander, and Diotima quartets, and soloists such as Lluís Claret, J. C. Garvayo, Tasmin Little, and Josep Colom. His appearances at the City of London Festival, Festival Classique in The Hague, San Francisco Chamber Music Series, Berlin’s Konzerthaus, and Madrid’s Liceo de Cámara have been particularly noteworthy.
