MENDELSSOHN Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage BRITTEN Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings SCHUMANN Symphony No. 4
A rarely-heard overture by Mendelssohn opens the door to a concert of masterpieces by composers who gave us some of the most wonderful music ever written for the voice. Benjamin Britten’s Serenade brings together the MPO’s principal horn, Zora Slokar, and acclaimed British tenor, John Mark Ainsley. From Schumann we hear not his magical songs but his equally engaging Fourth Symphony.
