Chopin’s mellifluous Piano Concerto No. 2 returns to the Classic series stage in the hands of Venezuelan superstar Gabriela Martinez, who made her orchestral debut at the age of 6! The concert also explores imagined worlds, and deeply buried worlds. Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet ballet music brings to life Shakespeare’s beloved play of star-crossed lovers, and Missy Mazzoli’s poignant These Worlds In Us delves into the worlds of intense memory that each person holds in themselves.
