Hearts Full, Tails Wagging
Some kinds of love don’t need a reason. They just show up, tail wagging, completely devoted. This Valentine’s weekend concert is a celebration of love in its most unconditional form, with a special nod to our four-legged companions and the service dogs and organizations that make our community whole. Music Director Laureate Lawrence Golan returns to the podium for an evening that pairs romantic music with genuine heart.
The evening also features something you won’t find anywhere else: the DPO’s International Conducting Workshop & Competition, where emerging conductors from around the world spend a week in intensive study before taking the stage in a live competitive performance. At the heart of it all, violinist Linda Wang brings her world-renowned artistry to the program: a performer whose playing has been described as equal parts technical brilliance and pure feeling. High stakes, deep artistry, and a whole lot of love…all in one night.
