Four Winds is proud to present the dynamic young pianist John Novacek, performing some of the most popular and demanding works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

"In less than thirty years of musical activity, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-91) produced an astonishing number of masterworks. Pieces seemed to spring forth fully-realized, not subjected (at least not on paper) to the agonizing revisions typical of other major composers. What made this facility possible? An unparalleled natural gift, of course, but also rigorous, early training. By the age of seventeen, Wolfgang's mastery was complete, his exquisite sense of taste and proportion fully evolved: he could not help but write perfect music." - John Novacek

"Novacek is a commanding presence at the keyboard, not just because of a sterling technique, but also his virile integrated playing." - Los Angeles Times
