Last night Ben and Darcy played the first movement of the Sinfonia Concertante by Mozart with the Oak Park River Forest High School Symphony Orchestra (their high school orchestra). Ben and Darcy played with them because they received an ‘honorable mention’ in this year’s High School Concerto Competition.
The cadenza begins at about 11 minutes. As soon as the cadenza ended the audience broke out into applause even though the orchestra was still playing.
