"Time to come down to dinner, Felix"... "Wait a minute mom, I’m almost done writing my new symphony!" Glorious music penned by youthful genius: from Felix (age 12) a delightful symphony for strings; from Wolfie (age 22) two of the most beautiful concerti ever written. Our "prodigious" soloists are the concertmaster, principal horn, and music director of the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra. Come ring in the New Year in style with our celebration of youth - and ever-youthful music.
