    The inaugural concert is the first of five season appointments with Diego Ceretta, our principal conductor: a 27-year-old talent who, in recent months, has enriched his already significant professional experience with notable debuts and resounding successes. The program Ceretta presents focuses on two cornerstones of the 19th-century symphonic repertoire, pieces that aim to depict literary subjects and natural scenes through sound. These include Ludwig van Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, inspired by Goethe’s eponymous drama, and Felix Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony, which transcribes the impressions evoked in the composer by the misty landscapes of Scotland. A score experimental in its own way, with the four standard movements fused into a single poetic arc rather than separated. Also featured in the program is Robert Schumann’s Violin Concerto, one of the most enigmatic and least understood pieces in music history. Written in 1853, just a few months before the composer was committed to an asylum (where he died three years later), it did not please his friend, the great violin virtuoso Joseph Joachim, to whom it was dedicated, nor did it appeal to Schumann’s wife, the illustrious pianist Clara. Both judged it to be a disjointed work that alternated between highly expressive moments and others that were rigid and convoluted. As a result, it remained unpublished and unperformed until 1937, eighty-four years after its composition. Even today, it remains on the fringes of the main repertoire. Performing it is Frank Peter Zimmermann, one of the leading violinists of our time, who will play his 1711 Stradivarius, the “Lady Inchiquin.”
