Event Description

"Mendelssohn’s 'Italian' Symphony is a musical postcard capturing Mediterranean sunshine, monumental art and architecture, and the beauty of the countryside. He referred to the work as 'Blue Sky in A major,' and created an orchestral landscape where audiences can imagine their own characters and stories – a travelogue of Italy! Also on the program, Haydn blends the virtuosity of four solo instruments with elegance and intensity in his Sinfonia Concertante. This 'concerto within a symphony' features musicians of the Philharmonic in a musical give and take between soloists and orchestra – peaceful, vivacious, and a glorious testament to Haydn’s brilliance."
