Concert Information

Vibrant strings open the concert in Mendelssohn's Athalie Overture, followed by Lutosławski's Little Suite, inspired by a playful exploration of Polish folk music and rich textures. Ivanova takes center stage in Weinberg’s Flute Concerto No. 2, a work of lyrical beauty and technical brilliance. To end, Weinberg's Rhapsody celebrates Moldavian folk songs, a spirited and evocative journey through Eastern European traditional melodies.
