From The Sorcerer’s Apprentice to Don Juan and Don Giovanni, tricksters and wicked characters have always had a place in the concert hall. Explore music inspired by their devilish ways, including the violin concerto of Paganini—who was said to have made a deal with the devil—performed by Kerson Leong in his TSO debut.
