About This Performance

Sibelius' soulful and impassioned concerto is followed by the luxurious pastel tones of Debussy's Three Nocturnes and Ravel's lush Suite from Daphnis et Chloë.

Concert Preludes
All Mellon Grand Classics concerts feature a pre-concert talk one hour prior to performance that provides additional perspectives on the program. This concert's Prelude will be hosted by Resident Conductor Lawrence Loh.
