The romantic period of classical music is defined by many things in textbooks and schools. One of its core traits is that it was music written to amplify and exaggerate human emotions. It was over the top in the best of ways. Ex-Romantico is a program of music written in that same vein, but outside of the defined period of romanticism. Fauré’s impressionist ‘Pavane’ pulls at the heartstrings, while Mendelssohn’s third symphony is a fiery and intense journey from start to finish. James Sommerville, former principal horn of the Boston Symphony, joins the PEISO for the island premiere of the boundless Kati Agócs’ horn concerto, co-commissioned by the PEISO.

Gabriel Fauré: Pavane
Kati Agócs: Horn Concerto | Soloist: James Sommerville, horn
