Renowned cellist Paul Watkins conducts and performs Haydn’s spirited, uplifting Cello Concerto in D Major, known for its lilting melodies and wild, rapid-fire scales. Shaw’s Entr’acte adds a fresh and modern perspective with its inventive take on classical tradition. Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony shines with exuberance and was celebrated by the composer as “the jolliest piece I’ve ever done.” ARTISTS Paul Watkins, guest conductor & cello PROGRAM CAROLINE SHAW: Entr’acte for String Orchestra FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN: Concerto No. 2 in D major for Cello and Orchestra, Hob.
