(August) With top-flight performances and close attention paid to music scholarship, Mostly Mozart is the premier New York City summer festival. Amidst performances by artists like conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, pianists Mitsuko Uchida and Pierre-Laurent Aimard, choreographer Mark Morris, the International Contemporary Ensemble, the Takács Quartet, and mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli, there is the resident Festival Orchestra—led by Louis Langrée.

Begun in 1966, this versatile August festival at Lincoln Center is broad in scope—with orchestral concerts, chamber music recitals, operas, dance performances, films, and more. The content always revolves around the tremendous works and influence of Mozart, but with additional programmatic focus on such composers as Beethoven, Stravinsky, and John Adams.
