In short

On the podium

This program opens with Beethoven's overture to "The Creatures of Prometheus," a short, energetic curtain-raiser written for a ballet about the mythical figure who steals fire and shapes humankind, marked by a bold opening flourish followed by lighter, dance-like material. Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No. 1 follows, a work that plunges the soloist in almost immediately after a brief orchestral introduction, moving through three linked movements without pause, mixing stormy energy with lyrical, songful stretches. The evening closes with Beethoven's Symphony No. 8, his shortest and most compact symphony, known for its wit, its unusually fast final movement, and a puckish humor that stands in contrast to some of his weightier works. Listeners can expect a program built around contrast, drama giving way to charm.
