From the radiant D-major Sonata and the graceful G-major Variations to the exuberant B-flat Sonata, the first half sparkles with youthful charm and lyrical invention. After interval, the dramatic F-minor Fantasie reveals Mozart at his most powerful and operatic, before the majestic F-major Sonata crowns the program with symphonic scale and sublime beauty. A luminous celebration of Mozart’s genius in its most intimate and conversational form.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Event","offers":[{"title":"General Admission \/ July 10, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799072997664,"sku":"TS-c99fd6","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"General Admission \/ August 21, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799073030432,"sku":"TS-2eb84a","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"General Admission \/ September 4, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799073063200,"sku":"TS-6027b0","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"General Admission \/ November 6, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799073095968,"sku":"TS-9b68d4","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"General Admission \/ December 11, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799073128736,"sku":"TS-3cc8c2","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Concession \/ July 10, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799072833824,"sku":"TS-70628e","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Concession \/ August 21, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799072866592,"sku":"TS-f6dbff","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Concession \/ September 4, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799072899360,"sku":"TS-f38f10","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Concession \/ November 6, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799072932128,"sku":"TS-528272","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Concession \/ December 11, 2026 7:30 PM","offer_id":51799072964896,"sku":"TS-2a5f09","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/5809\/1296\/files\/417cb5a2-2c75-48c4-8381-68e20fce870f.jpg?v=1780807618"}],"url":"https:\/\/nightingale-gallery.myshopify.com\/collections\/events.oembed","provider":"Nightingale Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
