Pianist Peter Serkin, to be featured at the 40th annual Midsummer Mozart Festival's July 12 and 13 chamber-music concerts has canceled because of an injury. The festival will go on without those events, and hold the July 19-20 and 25-27 orchestral concerts as scheduled.
Artistic Director George Cleve will conduct Mozart's Symphony No. 40 and Mozart arias performed by mezzo Tania Mandzy Inala on the first two days. The "Mozart Bouquet" on the last three includes works with the participation of his San Francisco Boys Chorus and mezzo Anna Yelizarova; the Piano Concerto in D Minor, K. 466, with Seymour Lipkin as soloist.
Concert venues are St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, San Francisco; First Congregational Church, Berkeley; and Bing Concert Hall, Stanford University.
