About
Nicholas McGegan brings his “abundant zeal and affection” (The New York Times) to the Sarasota stage as he leads the Festival Orchestra in symphonic masterpieces by Schubert, Mozart, and Beethoven. The concert opens with Schubert’s effervescent Overture in the Italian Style. Superstar flutist Jasmine Choi brings her “fluent and refined” tone and “impeccable” technique (Musical Opinion) to Mozart’s celebrated Flute Concerto No. 2. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, one of the most popular and lauded works in the classical repertoire, concludes the Festival on a jubilant note.
