Upon returning from a trip to Scotland, the fogs and gothic landscapes of the Highlands inspired the composer to write his Symphony No. 3, an epic work conducted by Kensho Watanabe. Completing the program, the magnificent overture The Fair Melusine is imbued with elegance and grace. Artists: Kensho Watanabe, conductor Yukari Cousineau, violin Works: Mendelssohn Ouverture “The Fair Melusine” Violin Concerto No. 2 Symphony No. 3 “Scottish” For more information and tickets: www.placedesarts.com 514-842-2112 or 1-866-842-2112
