Les Délices Presents “Marianne Mozart”

Les Délices (pronounced “Lay Day-lease”) delights, inspires, educates, and expands audiences for music on period instruments through innovative programming and world-class performances. With deep roots in the Northeast Ohio community, Les Délices is building a national reputation as a leader in the field of early music, advancing its relevance and sustainability. This afternoon, Les Délices presents its program “Marianne Mozart.”

Marianne Mozart (known as Nannerl) was an acclaimed keyboardist and composer who shared the spotlight with her younger brother through her teenage years. But as time went on, only one of them would be free to make a career in music. Stellar violinist Shelby Yamin and virtuoso Mark Edwards from Les Délices present a special recital for fortepiano and violin that places sonatas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart alongside works by Margarethe Danzi, Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen, and Franziska Lebrun to illuminate Marianne’s story. 

More information about Les Délices can be found on the ensemble’s website.
