With apologies to Falco, Mozart was the first Viennese rock star. He’s gone, but his music still demands a spotlight, as you’ll see during today’s tribute to him by Mercury Baroque in Mozart Under the Stars. The group will perform many of his best-known melodies, along with 18th-century chart toppers like “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,” “Serenata Notturna” and “Divertimento,” which was written when Mozart was all of 16 years old. 8 p.m. Miller Outdoor Theatre, 6000 Hermann Park Drive.
