Vivid, programmatic works by Sibelius and Prokofiev fill this heart-rending program. Sibelius’s stirring love letter to his homeland is paired with a suite from Prokofiev’s ballet Romeo and Juliet, a musical retelling of Shakespeare’s tragic masterpiece. Making her Cleveland Orchestra debut, conductor Tabita Berglund pairs these works with Sibelius’s impassioned Violin Concerto, performed by Dutch violinist Simone Lamsma.
