Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto
Join us for a complimentary pre-concert conversation
with Music Director Alastair Willis and Guest Soloist Leonid Sigal at 2:00 p.m.
Music lifts the spirit and reflects the heights of creative possibility. With Rossini, notes sparkle with energy. Respighi gives wing to the imagination. And Mendelssohn’s violin concerto, which has been called “one of the most original and one of the most attractive concertos ever written,” confidently takes an artform to new heights.
