“If there were a concert that was full of the most great moments, it would have been the Mainly Mozart Festival’s concert of Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21 and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. Jon Kimura Parker further solidified his place as one of San Diego’s favorite guests.

The festival orchestra and new music director Michael Francis ripped through Beethoven’s Seventh with the ease of a wood chipper chewing through balsa wood. The Mainly Mozart Festival Orchestra is going to be on this list every year. Only 23 weeks left until they’re back.”
