Few composers match the brilliance, versatility, and humanity of Felix Mendelssohn. A prodigy, scholar, conductor, educator, and champion of Bach, he helped shape the musical world while inspiring generations of artists. The title Being Mendelssohn reflects the enduring appeal of a life so rich in achievement and curiosity. This program celebrates his spirit through a dazzling array of works that showcase his elegance, imagination, and remarkable genius.
