From Carnegie Hall to Jacobs Music Center...

Following its New York performance this summer at Carnegie Hall, the Vienna Royal Orchestra brings its VIVA MOZART 270 celebration to Jacobs Music Center in San Diego.

This special concert honors the 270th anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of history's most beloved and influential musical geniuses. Audiences will enjoy an inspiring program of Mozart's timeless masterpieces, performed by distinguished musicians from Europe and the United States.

Internationally celebrated pianist Tian Jiang appears as soloist in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, K. 488. Praised as "a thoughtful interpreter" by The New York Times and "a deeply persuasive Mozartean" by The Los Angeles Times, he is recognized for performances that combine poetic artistry, technical mastery, and expressive depth.

Patrick Rafter is recognized and celebrated as one of Ireland’s foremost classical musicians, acclaimed for his mastery of the violin and extraordinary musicianship. Rafter has taken to the stage as a soloist, director, conductor, and recitalist across Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Asia.

The program also features child prodigies Shay Mowbray, age six, and Anson Wong, age nine, highlighting the Vienna Royal Orchestra's commitment to supporting the next generation of exceptional young artists.

Under the direction of conductor Matthew Busse, the Vienna Royal Orchestra, joined by members of the Imperial Valley Symphony Orchestra, continues its mission of artistic excellence, education, and cultural exchange. Dr. Busse will also be featured as a composer with a performance of his Idyll for Violin and Orchestra.

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the enduring brilliance of Mozart – from Vienna to New York, and now to San Diego.
