FELIX MENDELSSOHN A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Start your weekend with our must-see Friday night concert series and social experience, Symphonic Piazza. Prepare to escape, mingle, and be entertained as you enjoy the perfect combination of a shorter format concert with enjoyable and engaging lobby activities to share with family, friends, and our musicians. It’s your new go-to date night! The fun continues in the lobby after the concert, as we’ll have even more memorable things for you to experience.

Celebrate the power of poetry with this imaginative program! The German composer Felix Mendelssohn fell in love with Shakespeare at a young age — even studying English to read the Bard’s works in their original language. Mendelssohn wrote effervescent incidental music for the play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” including the famous Overture and the “Wedding March.”
