Returning this season is mandolin player, Avi Avital. The first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy Award, Avital returns plays a brand-new mandolin concerto from composer Jennifer Higdon. Looking to the East, Maestro Spano conducts Rimsky-Korsakovs classic Scheherazade, the story of the wife of the sultan who spins epic tales with cliffhanger endings for 1,001 nights.
