Closing out the 2023 Grant Park Music Festival season, Carlos Kalmar leads music by Modest Mussorgsky and Felix Mendelssohn before closing out the program (and year) with Sergei Rachmaninoff’s monumental Symphonic Dances. And Corinne Wallace-Crane, Miles Mykkanen, Alex Descoio, and David Govertsen make up the quartet of vocal soloists featured in Mendelssohn’s seldom-heard The First Walpurgis Night.
