Felix Mendelssohn: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in E minor, Op. 64
The Tapiola Sinfonietta’s spring season opens with American Stefan Jackiw, a violinist who made his debut at age 12 and has performed Mendelssohn’s concerto with, among others, the YouTube Symphony Orchestra. Pärt’s Fratres is part of the orchestra’s core repertoire, and at least fifteen different versions of this meditative work have been created since 1977.
Copland’s dance piece Appalachian Spring centers on a young couple starting a new life in the mountainous countryside. One of their most exciting moments is their introduction to the music of the Shakers. Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor is a melancholic gem among Romantic violin concertos, the performance of which marked the peak of Sibelius’s solo career during his student years.
