Mozart is high on everyone’s list, and pianist Christopher O'Riley, star of NPR’s “From the Top,” will open the program with the prolific composer’s twenty-second piano concerto. Then “mass”—as in massive—is the monumental Glagolitic Mass of Czech composer Leos Janáček. This powerful setting of ancient Slavic texts is accompanied by the Madison Symphony Chorus and featured singers. Student rush tickets are available for $12-$18 at the Overture Center’s Box Office on the day of the concert, and a free 30-minute talk by music experts starts one hour before the concert.
