Florida’s Sarasota Music Festival—an annual three-week series of events run by the Sarasota Orchestra—will feature the U.S. premiere of a Mozart fragment, completed by Robert Levin. Performers in Mozart’s Rondo in A major, set to for June 19 on the festival’s final weekend, will be clarinetist Charles Neidich and a student string quartet; Levin’s completion of the fragment was commissioned by the Mozart Society of Japan and had its world premiere in Tokyo on May 23. Levin, a renowned pianist and Mozart scholar, is artistic director of the three-week festival. During the Sarasota Music Festival, young musicians come to Sarasota to work with orchestra faculty members, who act as mentors and join them in performances.
