About The Concert
Escape on a musical vacation through Italy, featuring music spanning the centuries. Paganini's virtuoso Violin Concerto No. 1 is a dazzling showcase for Ottawa’s Kerson Leong, brimming over with devilish difficulties that stretch the boundaries of the instrument. Respighi’s La Boutique Fantastique transforms Rossini’s amusing piano music into a magical ballet suite where the objects in a mysterious boutique come to life. The familiar William Tell Overture never gets old or disappoints, and Elisabetta Brusa's enchanting Messidor is based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
This concert will include an intermission.
