The Orchestra dell’Arte continues its musical journey with this celebrity concert at St. George’s Hall, Liverpool. The centrepiece of this concert features the Austrian violinist Wolfgang David. Wolfgang is well-established on the international concert stage, with performances in London, Austria, Switzerland and South Africa. He will play the celebrated Violin Concerto by Felix Mendelssohn, probably one of the most popular and most frequently performed violin concertos of all time

Mendelssohn spent six years writing and rewriting this concerto, the first performance being in Leipzig in 1845. Mendelssohn, then conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, designed the concerto with the idea of a performance by the orchestra’s concertmaster.
