    About this event

    In the first of its two concerts this season the Leipzig Gewandhaus pays tribute to the composer-conductor who, from the mid-1830s, cemented its high reputation from the podium. At the heart of the programme, one of the most popular of all concertos is played by a dynamic young soloist.

    Part 2 sheds new light on Mendelssohn’s creativity with an unfairly neglected concert overture he considered the ‘most intimate’ thing he had produced, followed by the original version of his 'Reformation' Symphony.
