Einstein's Mozart: Two Geniuses
Einstein's Mozart (2006) is a new work with original poetry by Kate Light and music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, to celebrate and commemorate the convergence of the centenary of Einstein's Miracle Year (1905-2005) and Mozart's 250th birthday (1756-2006).

Now available for performance, this new piece by the author of Oceanophony features original text interlaced with live performances of the String Quintet in Eb Major, K.614, and the String Quartet in C Major, K. 465 (the "Dissonant"). Einstein's Mozart focuses on the early and creative lives of these two geniuses and the inspiration Einstein found in Mozart's music.
