The ancient elements of earth, water and fire provide inspiration for this blockbuster concert headlined by violin superstar Joshua Bell. He has commissioned works by renowned composers Kevin Puts, Edgar Meyer and Jake Heggie, incorporating these elements thematically. You’ll hear a magical blend of old and new in these ingenious pieces. Also on the program is Henri Vieuxtemps’ virtuosic Fifth Violin Concerto. Vieuxtemps’ beautiful music and Joshua Bell’s phenomenal artistry are a heavenly match — romantic music indeed.

Joshua Bell and Ravel

A transcendent experience awaits you — Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony is truly one of his greatest, most deeply emotional works. The stage and choral loft will be filled with musicians bringing you music that touches the soul.  Soprano Joelle Harvey and mezzo-soprano Kelley O'Connor give voice to this luminous work.

Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony

An astounding child prodigy, Felix Mendelssohn composed the Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream when he was only 17 years old. This brilliant music captures the essence of Shakespeare's play and stands on its own as an orchestral masterwork.
