Valentine’s with the JSO promises an enchanting evening, featuring Romantic favorites of Music Director Matthew Aubin. This program, featuring cellist Julian Schwarz, takes you on a journey through time. Schwarz’s interpretation of Variations on a Rococo Theme and Andante cantabile captures the classical grace of Tchaikovsky. Inspired by Mozart, the concert concludes with Franz Schubert’s Fifth Symphony, rounding out an evening where the past meets the present in a symphony of love.
