PASSION AND DRAMA at Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts

Fervorous melodies of the Roma people captivate through violin pyrotechnics in Pablo de Saratsates Zigeunerweisen. Lost during the plight of the Russian Revolution, Prokofiev reconstructed by memory his Piano Concerto No. 2, adding ten years of musical maturity and sophisticated compositional skill in this brilliant and evocative work. In 1829, Felix Mendelssohn made his first trip to London for the premire of his own Symphony No. 1, which he played five years earlier at his sisters birthday party.Kristian Alexander | conductorJ J Jun Li Bui | pianistClare Pellerin | violinistMichael Berec | hostOn-stage discussion with Michael Berec and Clare Pellerin.
