Mendelssohn’s Scottish

Spotlight Artist Renaud Capuçon plays and conducts a program that begins with the luminous colours of Charlotte Sohy’s rarely heard Thème varié, followed by Robert Schumann’s soulful, long-hidden Violin Concerto brought to life by one of today’s great violinists. Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony, inspired by the composer’s travels, crowns the concert with its restless energy and stormy drama.
