The young Felix Mendelssohn
Felix Mendelssohn wrote what became a VERY famous violin concerto when he was 35 years old; it’s now considered a staple for every serious violinist. But today at 2:00pm you’ll hear “the OTHER Mendelssohn Violin Concerto,” as it’s often affectionately called, that he wrote 22 years earlier when he was just 13!
