- Glenn Buhr – Akasha (Sky)
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Violin Concerto No.4 – Risa Hokamura – soloist
- Felix Mendelssohn – The Hebrides (Fingal’s Cave)

Enjoy an exploration of themes of love and nature in the beautiful surroundings of Longwood Gardens. Taking inspiration from Hindu poetry, Canadian composer Glenn Buhr wrote a lighter-than-air piece entitled Akasha; Sanskrit for Sky. Mendelssohn was inspired by the rugged islands off Scotland’s coast to write the Hebrides, whereas Sibelius captured in music the tragic love story of Pelleas and Melisande.
