    Rock Me Amadeus

    In Louis Langrée’s second season as music director, Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival is expanding in every direction. That includes Persian and Indian improvisation sharing a program with the Mozart Requiem; modern dance with Mark Morris and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker; and period-instrument ensembles performing Baroque masters. In advance of tonight’s opener concert at Avery Fisher Hall (broadcast live on WNYC) Langrée joins us today with a preview of the season. Also on the show, pianist Jonathan Biss returns to the Soundcheck studio for a live performance. A former student of Leon Fleisher, he was a recipient of a 1999 Avery Fisher Career Grant and has since been racking up an impressive list of performance credits.
