THE FOUR SEASONS & MOZARTFriday, February 17 | 7:30 p.m.Mei-Ann Chen, conductorRandal Goosby, violin
This concert spans the globe, from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons to Milhaud’s “La Creation du monde,” and ending with Mozart’s great and passionate Symphony in G minor. Also not to be missed: young Memphis violinist Randal Goosby!
MENDELSSOHN, SCHUBERT & DVORAK Friday, March 23 | 7:30 p.m.Mei-Ann Chen, conductor
The Classic Accents Series closes with an intriguing mix of old-world music. Hear a performance that evokes sounds from the Scottish Hebrides (Felix Mendelssohn) and the English Renaissance (Vaughan Williams) to the late Romantic period (Antonin Dvorak) or a time when minuets ruled (Franz Schubert).
