Embark on a magical journey with Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, a piece that sings with ethereal grace and eloquence. Here, the clarinet becomes a conduit for the muses, its melodies weaving spells of serenity and reflection that resonate with the soul.

As the afternoon light filters into the Pittville Pump Room, the grandeur of Mozart’s Symphony No. 41, ‘Jupiter’, ascends. Named after the Roman king of gods, ‘Jupiter’ stands as a testament to Mozart’s divine compositional powers. From the thunderous expanse of its opening movements to the celestial tapestry of its finale, the symphony embodies the Olympian spirit, inviting you to gaze into the heavens through Mozart’s eyes.

Step into this musical pantheon with us, and let the sublime beauty of Mozart’s masterworks cast a spell that transcends time and space. Here, in the majestic setting of Cheltenham, the myths of old come alive, singing the praises of Jupiter and the harmonies that bind the universe together.
