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.

Music Notes

  • The Bolshoi Ballet initially said Prokofiev’s score was “impossible to dance to,” so the composer wrote two suites that resulted in a bidding war between two ballet companies!

  • Missy Mazzoli was Musical America’s 2022 Composer-of-the-Year, and also wrote and performed music for the acclaimed TV show Mozart in the Jungle.

  • Chopin had a romantic relationship with the famous French author Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, better known by the pen name George Sand.
