Felix Mendelssohn ’s Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture opens the concert\, offering a m usical interpretation of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy. Mendelssohn’s o rchestration captures the interplay between fairies\, lovers\, and rustic characters\, creating a whimsical and dynamic conversation between literat ure and music.\nIgor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite continues the eveni ng’s exploration of dialog\, blending the past and present with a modern reimagining of Baroque music. Based on themes attributed to Pergolesi and other composers\, Stravinsky infuses the suite with his distinctive wit a nd rhythmic vitality\, creating an interplay between tradition and innovat ion.\nThe program concludes with Haydn’s majestic “Harmoniemesse\,” his final Mass. This deeply spiritual work\, with its rich wind orchestrat ion\, represents an intimate dialog between human devotion and divine tran scendence. Together\, these pieces embody the Festival’s theme\, sparkin g profound conversations that transcend time\, culture\, and the boundarie s of artistic imagination.\n \;\n\n\n\nProgram\nMENDELSSOHN Midsummer Night’s Dream\, A\, op. 21: Overture\nSTRAVINSKY Pulcinella: Suite (19 49 revision)\nI.
