[Date] Comparative Essay on Concerts
On November 30th, I attended the Mozarteum Orchestra concert that was staged at the Alice Tully Hall. The hall was filled to capacity by people of mixed ages and there dressing code was official. Under the leadership of its English director, Matthew Halls, the Mozart and used conventional instruments a string vibrato, in their performance of Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3.

Mary Desmond was no doubt the act of the show with her versatility and her ability to identify the right songs in suitability to the season. We could say it is due to experience too but giving credit where it’s due, her performance was quite
