Did you know... #Mendelssohn's Heimkehr aus der Fremde, also known as Son and Stranger, is a one act 'liederspiel' which the composer suppressed after a private premiere. It's an entertainingly sweet essay in Mendelssohnian tension and fluency. Along the way we encounter 'echoes' of the Schumann Third Symphony and of Mendelssohn's own Midsummer Night's Dream and Schöne Melusine in the piece. It is a must for any Mendelssohn admirer to attend the FSSO Symphony Concert on Saturday, June 8 at the Odeion School of Music OSM, UFS from 19h30.
