Mendelssohn's "Italian"

Conductor Ankush Kumar Bahl takes us on a musical voyage to the immortal “land where the lemon-trees bloom, and the gold orange glows...” in Felix Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony, inspired by his year-long trip to that country in 1830. Principal bass Jeremy Kurtz-Harris performs music by Tijuana-based composer Andrés Martín, whose concerto draws on the rhythms of tango from his native Argentina.
