Jean Sibelius: Spring Song

Karl Goldmark: Sakuntala

This captivating program has it all when it comes to love, romance, and…betrayal. We open with Fauré’s Pelleas et Melisande Suite, which tells the story of a doomed love triangle. Next, Goldmark’s Sakuntala brings to life a heroine from an ancient Indian epic. Sibelius’ tone poem Spring Song offers a gentle reminder of the approaching season. And don’t miss MVO favorite Fanya Lin as she joins the stage to perform a brilliant piano concerto by our foreground composer, Florence Price!
