In the final concert of the season, the Symphony welcomes the return of Amit Peled to perform Elgar’s sublime Cello Concerto in E minor, a work considered to be the greatest cello concerto of the twentieth century. Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture recounts Mendelssohn’s journey to Fingal’s Cave in the Hebrides off the coast of Scotland. The concert concludes with the popular Symphony No. 8 in G major by Dvorak, a work abounding in melody especially for cellos.
