Few conductors on the world stage today qualify more than John Covelli as a performer of multiple talents and diverse experience. Nineteen years ago, Maestro Covelli led the Brooklyn Philharmonic in the first concert in what would evolve into the Belleayre Music Festival. This year, he performs as both conductor and soloist in presenting a concert of spectacular romantic orchestral favorites. The program includes Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony” and Rimsky Korsakov’s ever popular, “Capriccio Espagnole”. The virtuosic finale features Covelli performing a riveting rendition of the celebrated masterpiece, Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto.
