Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night's Dream overture, composed when he was just a teenager, kicks off National Philharmonic’s 2014-2015 season! The magical overture captures the whimsical characters and fairyland integral to Shakespeare’s play. Next, award-winning violinist Chee-Yun, whose “technique is brilliant…tone smooth, rich and flawless” (Strings Magazine), performs the Sibelius Concerto for Violin. The concert concludes with Dvorak’s most popular work, Symphony No. 9 (“From the New World”), completed in 1893 during the great Czech nationalist composer’s stay in this country. Full of memorable melodies, this symphony employs Native American tunes to reflect the spirit of America.
