Energetic and enjoyable performances have become a hallmark of the Wytheville Concert Series. The 15th season will kick off on Saturday, October 5th at 7:00 p.m. in Wytheville Community College’s Snyder Auditorium. Violinist Kevin Matheson will perform two of the most beloved violin concertos of the romantic period, Mendelssohn’s Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 (1844) and Tchaikovsky’s Concerto in D Major, Op. 35 (1878). Longtime Hollins University piano faculty, Melia Garber, will play the piano reduction of the orchestral accompaniment. Rarely are the two concertos performed in the same program because both works are so technically demanding.
