Event Details
Effusively lyrical... hair-raisingly virtuosic.
The Guardian London
Experience the seasons in reverse. The promise of warm summer nights comes to life in Mendelssohn’s irrepressible overture. Schumann’s Spring Symphony overflows with the joyous sounds of nature reawakening. Finally, Grammy Award-winning violinist James Ehnes, who makes his home in Bradenton, joins Sarasota Orchestra for Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No.1. Shostakovich put this rich, “subversive” work on the shelf for seven years, until after Stalin’s death. The concerto depicts winter’s harsh, crystalline beauty, with anti-Stalinist themes ever present beneath the surface.
