Classical Social’s second weekly pub jam night celebrates the obvious: Today marks the 257th anniversary of Mozart’s birth. Fine, then, any day is a good day to enjoy Mozart’s music, except that this is truly informal and as close as professional classical musicians get to spur-of-the-moment.

The location is Fionn MacCoull’s pub on University Ave., one block south of the Four Seasons Centre.
Classical Social is being organized by conductor Simon Capet, who does keyboard duty at these classical jams.
The playlist for tonight’s event is staggering, to put it mildly. There is no cover charge, no need to change out of your Sunday sweats, and no need to committ for an all-evening stay:
Movements from String Quartets K387,417b,421b,458,464,465,499
Piano Trio no.2 K502
Flute Quartets
Quintet for Winds and Piano K452
Serenade in Bb for Winds K361
Sinfonia Concertante for winds K297b arranged for wind octet
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik K525
Ein musikalischer Spaß K522
Flute Concerto K314
Clarinet Concerto K622
Bassoon Concerto K619
Sinfonia Concertante K364
Symphony no.1 K6
Symphony no.41 K551
And Capet said something about cake…

Here’s my prelude offering, and my little tribute to Mozart’s big day — a gorgeously made video of the Allegro con spirito movement from the Sonata for two pianos in D Major, K448, performed by Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe at Yale University’s Morse Hall:
