There’s a freshness to a hidden gem, and in this concert that sense is beautifully captured by rising star conductor Dmitry Matvienko and incredible violin soloist Akiko Suwanai.
Mozart’s Fifth Violin Concerto is one of his most popular, revealing all the brilliance of a prodigious teenager. Suwanai summons its youthful character with pristine clarity.
Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony is lively and spirited. A little jewel nestled between his massive Third and dramatic Fifth Symphonies, it’s a perfect symphony — elegant, bright and vivacious, overflowing with Beethoven’s trademark irrepressible energy.
Opening with Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony, directly inspired by Mozart but with plenty of Prokofiev’s own style shining through, this invigorating concert is your perfect opportunity to delight in the undiscovered and rediscovered.
