Enjoy an enchanting evening of classical music gems in the great outdoors conducted by Bob Bernhardt. Historian Charles Grove wrote, “nowhere has he achieved more” about Mozart’s exuberant “Jupiter” Symphony. Rossini’s zany overture, Haydn’s cheerful concerto, and two works by Wieniawski – one a dramatic tone poem and the other a dazzling showpiece – performed by our concertmaster Robert Uchida make this concert an orchestral kaleidoscope.
