In a concert dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, VSO Conductor Laureate Kazuyoshi Akiyama presents the overture to Mendelssohn’s famous incidental music for the Bard’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as a snippet of William Walton’s dreamy, beautiful music for Henry V. A pianist of extraordinary versatility and range, Gilles Vonsattelperforms Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9, called “perhaps the first unequivocal masterpiece of the Classical period.”
