Love, Love, Love

Jason Altieri, conductor

“Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius,” said Wolfgang Mozart. He might well have been talking about how the music of romance and longing are as much part of the orchestra as are violins and flutes. Enjoy a selection of romantic music for the Valentine’s Day weekend, all brought to you by your NMPhil. Bring your valentine along for an evening of love and romance!
