Chamber Orchestra Plays Mozart in Sanaa Palace Hall
by Glen Hobbs
Dramatic clouds swirl above the high arched windows of a Sana'a palace hall, casting shifting shadows across the stone floor. Musicians in formal attire stand on a raised wooden stage, their instruments catching the warm glow of firelight that flickers from hidden braziers. The cool season air settles in the still hours before dawn, visible in the heavy wool coats worn by the audience seated in the shadowed gallery. Intricate geometric plasterwork lines the walls, glowing amber against the deep blue twilight. Bow strings vibrate in mid-air as a conductor raises a baton, directing the ensemble through a Mozart movement. A polished cello neck reflects the orange firelight in the foreground, anchoring the communal energy of the performance.
