Grzegorz Nowak conducts Valentine's Classics

On the eve before Valentine’s Day, Grzegorz Nowak returns to perform stellar extracts from ballet and opera – from the unequivocal classical form of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro to Bizet’s tragic Carmen. Violinist Robert Davidovici joins the Orchestra once again to perform Mendelssohn’s celebrated Violin Concerto, first premiered in 1845 by the Leader of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Ferdinand David. No less beloved is Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake: a tale of a princess’s transformation into a swan at the hands of an evil sorceress.
