Before they were famous composers, Mozart and Beethoven triumphed with their keyboard improvisations—now their present-day counterpart, jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, applies his creativity to music for Orpheus. Pianist André Watts returns to NYC after over a decade for a fresh look at Mozart’s most precocious concerto. Beethoven’s vibrant First Symphony caps this celebration of young risk-takers.
