Step into the richly expressive world of the Romantic era with a program that weaves together the brilliance and storytelling of three iconic composers. Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel’s Overture in C major, a radiant, energetic work full of lyrical melodies and dramatic contrast, is a powerful reminder of her long-overlooked place in the canon. “Rising star” (San Francisco Classical Voice) Ava Pakiam brings passion and precision to Tchaikovsky’s remarkable Violin Concerto, one of the most challenging and renowned showpieces in the repertoire. Felix Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony transports listeners to a landscape of misty highlands and ancient ruins. Inspired by his travels to Scotland, the symphony unfolds as a continuous, atmospheric journey—its shifting moods evoking windswept coastlines, folklore, and quiet reflection.
