Rossini: Overture to L’ italiana in Algeri
Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 25, K. 503
Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 “Italian”

Mendelssohn’s joyful souvenir of a tour through Italy, and a playful operatic overture by a native Italian, Rossini, highlight this sunny program. Italian pianist Luca Buratto, the 2015 Honens Prize Laureate, brings all his “fiery imagination and finesse” (to quote Musical America) to a masterful Mozart concerto.
