Violin virtuoso Andrew Sords returns for his third performance with the MSO, showcasing Richard Strauss’s vibrant and youthful “Violin Concerto in D Minor.” Composed when Strauss was only 17, the Concerto is a captivating showcase of late-Romantic virtuosity and artistic promise. The concert opens with Leopold Stokowski’s dramatic orchestral arrangement of J.S. Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor,” made famous by Disney’s Fantasia. Inspired by the ruins of Holyrood Chapel in Edinburgh, Felix Mendelssohn’s “Symphony No. 3 in A Minor” brings the program and MSO’s season to a close. 

$30 adult; $25 group (10+); free student and youth
