At this year’s Mozart Festival in Augsburg, Reinhard Goebel and the Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie presented works from the “Concert Spirituels” milieu in Paris. The Concerts Spirituels played an important role in 18th century Parisian musical life and were the venue for many premieres of symphonic works. Even Mozart wrote a work for this series: the “Paris Symphony” K. 297. Composer, violinist and conductor Chevalier de Saint-George was also active in Paris at the same time. Later generations would characterize him as the “Black Mozart” and stylize him in legendary terms. And indeed, Saint-George, born on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, was multi-talented, becoming one of the most scintillating figures of the age: he enjoyed the highest respect as a violin virtuoso, fencing master, conductor, composer and – ladies’ man. Soloist in his Violin Concerto in G Major op. 2/1 is Yura Lee, winner of the 2006 Leopold Mozart Violin Competition.
