Dedicated to fresh interpretations of Mozart's most enduring masterworks, the Midsummer Mozart Festival opens with a solo piano recital featuring Bay Area based pianist Daniel Glover. Praised by San Francisco Classical Voice as "brilliant, tender, whimsical, sparking," Glover has performed all over the world including appearances with Redwood Symphony, Saratoga Symphony, and the Szeged Philharmonic. Among his numerous competition awards is first prize in the prestigious Liederkranz Competition and the New York Artists International Competition. The program will feature solo piano works such as Mozart's Fantasy in C minor, K. 475, Rondo in D Major, K. 485, Adagio in B minor, K. 540 and Gluck Variations, K. 455. Long-time friend and collaborator Thomas Hansen will make a special appearance joining Glover on stage for Sonata for Four Hands in F Major, K. 497. Previously based in Boston, Hansen has lived in the Bay Area for almost forty years where he performs with many local orchestras and serves on the faculty of Belmont's Notre Dame de Namur University.
