Violinist Nicola Benedetti will be performing an all Mozart programme with the Manchester Camerata, conducted by Andrea Marcon. at the Royal Hall, Harrogate on 1 June 2016 as part of the Harrogate International Festivals' 50th anniversary celebrations. The programme includes Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, and Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major 'Turkish', plus Symphony No. 34 in C major, and Symphony No. 35 in D major 'Haffner'.
As Mental Health Awareness Week has just finished (16-22 May) it is rather appropriate that the pre-concert talk looks at Mozart and his mental health. Nicola Benedetti commented that "Music helps us deal with all the invisible things in life - to communicate with each other, listen to each other, feel each other’s feelings and empathise. Music, if taught well, can help us deal with this complex part of human interaction in a very painless way."
