"We are pleased to be back at Longwood Gardens. Taking a cue from the natural beauty that will envelop us, we will perform music inspired by nature; be it the boundless sky of Buhr's Akasha, or the turbulent seas surrounding the Hebrides Islands that inspired Mendelssohn. Sibelius' incidental music to the play Pelleas and Melisande contains short musical vignettes that describe scenes of nature, such as the seashore, and a spring day in the park. Along with Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 4, this is beautiful music performed in a beautiful space," said Michael Hall, Music Director of Kennett Symphony.

Violin Soloist, Risa Hokamura, added, "I am so excited to perform at the season opening concert with Kennett Symphony! Mozart Violin Concerto 4 is one of my favorite concertos; I just love the beauty and pureness of the piece and I can't wait to share this beautiful music with your audience."

At Stories of Love and Nature, guests will enjoy an exploration of themes of love and nature in the beautiful surroundings of Longwood Gardens.

The concert features Risa Hokamura performing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Violin Concerto No.4.
