Have you ever wondered what Mozart might create if he were to set out to compose music today? If you haven't, you probably have wondered how Mozart would react to Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez, or even Fleetwood Mac. Maybe they're both the same question. In any event, the first question is the one which Larry Livingston, music director of the New England Conservatory Symphony Orchestra, will address Tuesday night in the NEC's first "Music After Five" program of the season.

...tenor and plays the trumpet. Ann Denbow, 21, of the New England Conservatory of Music, grew up in Ashley, Ohio, playing the piano, singing and dancing. Now, after besting 50 other voice students to be the conservatory's commencement soloist this year (with an aria from Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio), Denbow has her heart set on an operatic career-but she is realistic about her chances.
