This concert program will be marked by one of the shiniest younger-generation stars of classical music – spectacular and diverse pianist Alice Sara Ott. After evocations of sensual Spanish flamenco rhythms in the opening piece by Maurice Ravel, Alborada del gracioso, she will be playing Concerto for the Left Hand by the same composer. In the second part of the concert, the young Spanish conductor Antonio Mendez will present to our audience one of the most beloved works of the entire classical concert program: excerpts from the ballet Romeo and Juliet by Sergei Prokofiev.
