Step into a world of fairies and folklore as the Brooklyn Youth Chorus performs Mendelssohn’s complete incidental music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Under the baton of the New York Philharmonic, our voices will help weave the ethereal atmosphere of Shakespeare’s enchanted forest. From delicate melodies to the world-famous "Wedding March," join us for an evening of pure musical storytelling and whimsical charm.

Alexandre Kantorow, a “fire-breathing virtuoso” (Gramophone), performs Brahms’s monumental Romantic concerto, beloved for its central Adagio, which Brahms called “a gentle portrait” of Clara Schumann. Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream’s blend of comedy and romance is brilliantly captured in Mendelssohn’s music, from the braying donkey in the Overture, fairies in the Scherzo, to joyous newlyweds in the famous wedding march. Iván Fischer conducts.
