It’s been twelve years since Prospero, the deposed Duke of Milan, and his infant daughter washed ashore and claimed this magical isle. With all its indigenous forces under his control, Prospero seizes a chance to bring his enemies under his domain. But the island itself has a living spirit, and its cooperation comes at a cost. “Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not.” Experience Shakespeare’s final masterpiece in a wondrous landscape of wind, percussion, breath and movement where the line between power and plunder, love and possession, has never been so beautifully, disturbingly thin.

Palomar Symphony Orchestra
Directed by Ellen Weller

Howard Brubeck Theatre
At the age of 20, Felix Mendelssohn embarked on a visit to Great Britain. As he walked through the Scottish countryside, taking in the history and the ruins of that fascinating landscape he heard in his mind the beginning of a noble and mournful introduction. The 3rd symphony was not finished until 13 years later and was the last symphony he finished (but was the 3rd to be published). Join us for our final concert as we explore the nature of inspiration and the mystery of musical creativity.
