Magically Mozart

Concertmaster Jeffrey Multer, shown here, is featured in the Florida Orchestra's all-Mozart program this weekend. Multer teams with conductor and viola player Scott Yoo in the Sinfonia Concertante, a double concerto that Mozart composed in Salzburg in 1779, not long before he set off for his new life in Vienna.

Multer has been playing his share of Mozart lately. In January, he was the soloist in a stylish performance of the Turkish Concerto with the orchestra. Yoo, whose career began as a 12-year-old violin soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, has his Mozart credentials in order, as music director of the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival in California. The program also includes the Divertimento (K. 136) and Symphony No. 40. Performances are at 8 p.m. Saturday at Mahaffey Theater, St. Petersburg, and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater. $17-$52. (813) 286-2403 or toll-free 1-800-662-7286; www. floridaorchestra.org.
