Paganini's devilishly difficult Violin Concerto No. 1 sizzles with Mediterranean flair. Elisabetta Brusa writes that her elegant piece Messidor is “a free and graceful fantasy inspired by various masterpieces, both literary and musical, under the title A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

One free food or beverage item is included with every ticket to an ESO Pairings performance. This concert does not include an intermission.
