Not only will you bask in the sunshine of Mendelssohn’s “Italian” Symphony (he dubbed it “blue sky in A Major”), but you’ll also hear two concertos and two soloists! First, Dvořák’s Cello Concerto — intense, charged with emotion and considered by many the greatest ever composed for the instrument — quotes a beautiful Czech folk song in the instrument’s most ethereal range; and our principal viola gives the world premiere of a concerto by Jonathan Leshnoff, a GRAMMY®-nominated composer ranked among the most-performed living composers by American orchestras. It’s all under the exciting leadership of Ana María Patiño-Osorio, second-prize winner at the Malko Competition for conductors, in her DSO debut.
