The mischief, mythical fairies and innocent lovers that Shakespeare brought to life in his “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” are magically portrayed through Mendelssohn’s “incidental” music. Bartók’s “Two Portraits” date from a tempestuous and formative two-year period in his mid-20s when, youthfully in love but also making the folk-music discoveries that would define his mature work, he forged his personal aesthetic and philosophy. Rachmaninoff: “Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 1” will be played by Zenghyi Huang, winner of the 2023 Ann & Charles Eisemann International Young Artists Competition.
