Ehnes Plays Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto

About This Concert

Ehnes Plays Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto will be performed live in Houston March 5–7, 2027 with the Houston Symphony at Jones Hall.

Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto is one of classical music’s most treasured works with good reason, blending singing sweetness with high-flying displays of technical prowess.

A violin-lover’s dream concert awaits as the wondrous James Ehnes (“A violinist in a class of his own” —The Times) soars through every exquisite note. An instant international hit following its 1908 premiere, Elgar’s Symphony No. 1 surges with grandeur, majesty, and, in the words of the composer, “a massive hope in the future.”
