Born into a prominent German Jewish family, Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) thrived in a stimulating childhood. One of the great musical child prodigies, by the time he was a teenager, Mendelssohn was composing music that showed the maturity, imagination, creativity and skill of a composer decades older. Today, his infectious symphonies, concertos, chamber music and choral music are all standard repertoire. Discover why Mendelssohn was dubbed, “The Second Elijah.”
