With her electrifying presence, conductor Yue Bao makes her debut in Weill Hall. Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto displays lyrical beauty and technical brilliance with a breathtaking performance by Simone Porter. Dvořák’s From the New World weaves a tapestry filled with the rich and harmonic influences of Native American and African American music.
