Our fall concert features three wildly disparate works written in the same year - 1830. We begin with Bellini’s Overture to his opera I Capuleti e i Montecchi, based on the Romeo and Juliet story. Next on the program will be Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, a highly virtuosic work that Mendelssohn himself premiered at the keyboard. Our soloist will be Seiran Tozlian.

The second half of the program is devoted to the still shocking Symphonie Fantastique of Hector Berlioz, a piece that tells the story of a hopeless love, a masked ball, a day in the country, a march to the scaffold and an opium-influenced dream of a witches sabbath.
