Step into the elegance of the Classical era with an afternoon devoted to the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, from the sacred to the celebratory, and featuring renowned organist Peter Krasinski on the Austin organ.

The program opens with the sparkling Serenata Notturna, a playful, regal serenade full of wit and charm. Next, delight in the graceful simplicity of Mozart's Church Sonatas, brief, radiant organ works that capture his gift for clarity and balance. We close with the majestic Linz Symphony, written in just four days and overflowing with joyful energy and brilliant orchestration. Celebrate Mozart's timeless brilliance in an afternoon of music that continues to enchant and uplift, centuries later. This concert is generously underwritten by Diane and Kirk Hartung.

A two-time All-Ireland champion at the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, he draws inspiration from three generations of family fiddle players.Their shared love of groovy tunes—especially in keys like C and F—has united them in Boston’s session scene, and they’re thrilled to share the stage together for the first time at BCMFest 2026.
