New Manhattan Sinfonietta’s musicians will perform an orchestral suite "Esintiler" (Inspirations) by Turkish composer Ferit Tuzun, Mozart's beloved violin concerto no.5 -also known as "Turkish"- and Beethoven's often neglected 4th symphony. Tuzun's "Esintiler"  unfolds in three movements, incorporating Anatolian folk music and motives, while in Mozart's "Turkish" violin concerto the music lets loose with exoticism. Symphony no. 4 reveals what Beethoven could do next after the mighty "Eroica" that marked a turning point in the development of symphony as a genre.
