The Philharmonic presents a special summer concert with an emphasis on works with an established popular appeal. Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet – classical music's most widely-known evocation of Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy – shares the bill with another Russian blockbuster, Prokofiev's alternately bold and lyrical Piano Concerto No. 1, performed by one of our major local artists, pianist Anastasia Solomatina. The 150th anniversary of the birth of Ralph Vaughan Williams will be celebrated via his jaunty English Folksong Suite. Finally, in the best "pops" tradition, the orchestra will play a handful of works by America’s leading composer of "light" works, Leroy Anderson.
