6:30 pm: Alisa Weilerstein Plays Dvo?ák's Cello Concerto

The 2024 Festival season opens with the much-anticipated return of Alisa Weilerstein, whose music "emerges with sunlit clarity" (The Guardian); here Weilerstein performs one of the most breathtaking works for cello. Later: Mendelssohn could not shake the "festive air" of Italy while composing his Fourth Symphony, which he called " the happiest piece I have ever done." The program begins with a brief and evocative Masquerade; composer Anna Clyne drew inspiration from promenade concerts held in London's pleasure gardens and their "exotic street entertainers, dancers, fireworks," and of course, masquerades.

Cost: $18 - $80
