Symphony by the Sea: Fanny & Felix

Felix Mendelssohn’s older sister, Fanny, was an equally gifted composer and a virtuoso pianist.

Although her talents were nurtured by her family, Fanny was nonetheless discouraged in pursuing a career in music.

Join Symphony by the Sea and young violin virtuoso Joshua Brown in a celebration of this extraordinary sister-brother relationship.
