Mozart's Turkish March, street music edition. She seems to be a pro but I don't know who she is.

Have a good evening!
I don't know how many people know about Benamor but here we go. It's a Spanish operetta by Pablo Luna, first performed in Vienna at the Music Theater an der Wien on January 26. Initially, I didn't want to post it but if it has the result of bringing more people into opera, why not...

One dream that, for now, seems far away is to hear Mozart in the Sagrada Familia.
Here, the beginning of Mozart's Symphony No. 25 with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko.
Have a blessed Sunday!
PS: It's mind-blowing to think that Mozart wrote this when he was 17.
