Set your hearts ablaze on Valentine’s Day weekend with a musical tale of passion, intrigue, and innovation. Igniting the fire is Michael Abels’s Concerto for Orchestra, a world premiere piece commissioned by LACO’s Beal Fund, that positively bursts with Abels’s characteristic energy and color. A delicate tapestry of passion and loss deepens the romance of the program in Fauré’s hauntingly beautiful Pelléas et Mélisande. Award winning pianist Fazil Say takes on Beethoven’s dramatic Piano Concerto No. 3, delivering a powerful and profound climax to an unforgettable night.
