Season Opener - Bold. Brilliant. Revolutionary
Two innovative, groundbreaking works open our 23 rd season. Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony and Beethoven’s Triple Concerto each “broke the mold” of the traditional symphony and the concerto. The “Scottish” is the first symphony to be written without breaks between the four movements, foreshadowing the cyclic form of the Late Romantic period. Beethoven’s Triple Concerto is the first of its kind since the Baroque concerto grosso form, and intertwines the solo trio and the orchestra in new and innovative ways.
