The Mendelssohn Violin Concerto is a live classical music performance by the North Carolina Symphony featuring violinist Justin Bruns and conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto. If you plan to go, keep in mind that tickets start at $78.30 and every attendee needs their own ticket. Children aged two and under are not allowed at this performance, and older kids must be able to sit quietly for nearly two hours. Arrive by 7:00 PM to attend the free pre-concert talk, which gives you plenty of time to park in the nearby deck and find your seats before the 8:00 PM start. This concert makes an excellent date night or a special outing with your middle or high school student. It is a chance to dress up, head downtown, and hear world-class musicians perform right in the heart of Raleigh.
