Magical Mozart saw many talented musicians come together to perform music from the classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The concert marked the second meeting of the orchestra since its inception in 2018.

Anthony Drake is the executive director of Cathcart-based non-profit organisation Incopho Development Project and was a featured soloist during the concert, performing the second movement of Mozart’s clarinet concerto.
