JACKSONVILLE SYMPHONY

"Under the baton of former Music Director Fabio Mechetti, a progam of well-loved French repertoire comforted and entertained, feeling effortless and charming. Mechetti displayed an intimate knowledge of the score, conducting the program entirely from memory, and radiated easy confidence in his communication with the orchestra he helped build ... 'Fabio, Fauré, and Fantastique' is a warm and enjoyable evening of familiar repertoire given a fresh and earnest outing by performers who clearly love the works for an audience that clearly loves the performers."
