May 1:
IRIS Orchestra
This energetic program opens with
Prokofiev’s Symphony No 1, “Classical,”
a tongue-in-cheek homage to Hayden
and Mozart that displays all the inventive
gifts of one of the 20th century’s greatest
symphonists. The fascinating pianist, Jon-
athan Biss, brings his daring musical in-
sight to bear with Beethoven’s Piano con-
certo No. 2. To close our “Sweet Sixteen”
seasons, we come back to Mendelssohn,
whose Symphony No. 1-completed before
his 16th birthday-displays the full flower
of his youthful genius…a brilliant ending
to a brilliant season. Call IRIS for tickets
@ 751-7669. Sign up in transportation.
Bus leaves at 1:30 pm.
