“Romeo and Juliet and Rising Stars!”

Long one of the most popular and engaging works in the symphonic repertoire, Mendelssohn’s eternally-youthful Italian Symphony will follow three more ever-amazing young talents from throughout the region, competing for the top prize with classics from the great concerto repertory. And the rapturous music of Frederick Delius — with the dreamy symphonic interlude from his operatic treatment of that timeless tale of young love, Romeo and Juliet — will definitely chase away the late-winter blues!
