Felix Mendelssohn — Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, Op. 27
Claude Debussy — La Mer, L. 109, CD. 111

Inspired by a lifelong passion for the sea, Debussy's La Mer shimmers with orchestral colors in musical portraits of tranquil waves, brewing storms, and the sun's celestial journey across a radiant sky. And soloist Paul Huang brings his "stylish and polished playing" (Strad) to Korngold's Violin Concerto, which marries European romanticism with the gilded glamour of Hollywood film scores.

Runs May 10-12.
