This engaging program begins with Mozart’s Symphony No. 30 which has never been performed by the PSO. Mendelssohn’s sunny Violin Concerto displays the virtuosity and passionate artistry of Chee-Yun. The concert concludes with Dvořák’s glorious Seventh Symphony.

I loved Bugs Bunny. The only way that could have been better is if he had gone onstage and conducted the first couple bars of Beethoven's 5th. The concert was amazing Saturday!
