Benjamin Simon, conductor
Stephen Waarts, violin
In the finest classical style, we raise our curtain with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's brilliant overture to the 1790 comedy Cosi fan Tutte. Sergei Prokofiev's incandescent Classical Symphony gives the old form a modern twist, and Felix Mendelssohn, who adored Mozart above all others, brewed his own blend of sweetness and sophistication. The world's most beloved violin concerto will be performed by the Bay Area's rising superstar Stephen Waarts, our 2009 Debut Artist, who recently won first prize in the International Menuhin Competition.
Admission is free to all concertgoers!
