David Hayes, conductor
Music Director David Hayes opens the 2026–27 season with Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor, a work of uncommon intensity and one of the defining symphonies of the Classical era. Its expressive depth reveals Mozart in a darker and more searching voice. The program continues with J.C. Bach’s Symphony in G minor, Op. 6 No. 6, whose poise and vitality reflect the style that so influenced the young Mozart. Closing the program is Schubert’s Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, a tribute to the Classical tradition and especially to Mozart. Light in texture and rich in melody, it shows the young Schubert writing with clarity, elegance, and unmistakable lyricism.
