Edition Seven from The OK Mozart International Festival on Performance Oklahoma

OK Mozart Artistic Director Constantine Kitsopoulos

Welcoming Artistic Director Constantine Kitsopoulos and Executive Director Randy Thompson in 2013, the 2014 Festival presented the Amici New York orchestra in a series of performances which included the Festival's Opening Concert featuring pianist Jon Kimura Parker and the Overture to The Marriage of Figaro and the Piano Concerto No. 20 in d minor, K 466 of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the Symphony No 1 in D Major (Titan) by Gustav Mahler, the Mahler also featuring a side-by-side performance with the newly formed OK Mozart All-State Youth orchestra.

OK Mozart continues to present a variety of performing arts, as well as a full program of related cultural events and will host this season's Festival June 6th-13th. Recorded concerts are held at the Bartlesville Community Center and St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Beginning in the final week of August, Performance Oklahoma presents concert performances from both Festivals in a multi-week broadcast series. Performance recordings were made by Tom Lazarus: http://www.classicsound.com/.

Performance Oklahoma is heard each week on Wednesday evening at 8pm and Saturday morning at 8am on Classical KUCO and Saturday evening at 8pm on Classical KWTU!
