TŌN rehearses the first half of Sunday’s concert: Rossini’s Barber of Seville Overture — the overture behind a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon chase — then violinist Francisco Fullana, our invited soloist, joins for Korngold’s Violin Concerto, written by the composer Hollywood turned to for its first great film scores.
