Set your heart ablaze this Valentine’s Day weekend as LACO weaves a tale of passion, intrigue, and innovation. Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Michael Abels ignites the evening with the thrilling, world premiere from one of Los Angeles’s finest composers. The romance deepens with Fauré’s hauntingly beautiful Pelléas et Mélisande, a delicate tapestry of passion and loss. Finally, Beethoven’s dramatic Piano Concerto No. 3 delivers a powerful and profound climax to an unforgettable night. Whether you’re celebrating love, escaping it, or simply reveling in the beauty of music, this is your perfect Valentine’s night out.
