BEETHOVEN: Overture to Coriolan, Op. 62
MENDELSSOHN: Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64
BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68, "Pastoral"

The San Diego Symphony’s annual summer favorite returns to The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, bringing Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture to life, along with Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, performed by violinist Clara-Jumi Kang. The outdoor environment of The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is the ideal setting in which to hear the program’s final work - Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, “Pastoral,” – in which the composer marked birdsongs in the score, just one element in this symphony that helps to evoke the countryside that inspired it. Conductor Marie Jacquot and Kang both make their San Diego Symphony debuts in this exciting program.
