Conductor Matthias Maute, concertmaster Joe Lanza, composer Paul Frehner and Andrew Chung, Artistic Producer, London Symphonia discuss the expressiveness and mature genius of the teenaged Mozart's String Quartet No. 8 alongside the irresistible appeal of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings. Maute discusses how interspersing his Three Preludes with Mozart's quartet creates a dynamic dialogue. Frehner explains the musical language he used to depict the dry haze, the intense haboob dust storm, and the mischievous dust devils found in the Mojave Desert.
