Experience the lush, pastoral beauty of Dvořák’s Symphony No. 6, paired with the evocative The Miraculous Mandarin by Bartók and Glazunov’s melodious Violin Concerto. This evening celebrates the rich tapestry of Eastern European music, its cultural heritage, and its influence on the world stage.

Saint-Saëns’ piano concerto is an ingenious tour de force of virtuosic technique, its movements portraying a sea voyage to exotic ports of call. Paired with the colorful and raucous revelry of the Italian equivalent of Mardi Gras, the two works preface Mendelssohn’s delightful recollections of a sojourn through Italy in his youth.
