Conductor

Mendelssohn was launched into prominence at a young age, as a gifted composer and conductor. While he lived a tragically short life, the scope of his compositions and the thematic material contained within them was quite varied, leaving one unable to fully grasp the substance of his work and beliefs with a single piece of music. With two full concerts, we examine how the young composer positioned himself in the lineage of German composers such as Bach and Beethoven, while simultaneously reconciling his Jewish roots with his conversion to Christianity in the early 1800s.
