Lush melodies, tumultuous rhythms, drama, tenderness, triumph; all ingredients are reunited for an evening of true romantic music by three European, nineteenth-century masters. One of the most celebrated violin concertos is performed by Karl Stobbe, alongside a tuneful and uplifting symphony, and preceded by a Nordic, dark-hued Shakespearean Suite. Music for the Heart, Soul and Body!
