Eckart Preu, conductor
Phillipe Quint, violin
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov - Russian Easter Overture
Alexander Glazunov - Violin Concerto
Dimtri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 10
Exult in the brilliance of Russian music in these three pieces spanning a century. A mysterious violin solo will open the season. A folk-like melody will charm you. Then you’ll be carried away by the fantastic colors of our orchestra playing Rimsky-Korsakov.
In the Shostakovich you’ll experience the full range of human emotions in this central work by perhaps the greatest symphonist of the 20th century. And Phillipe Quint brings his 1723 “Ex-Kiesewetter” Stradivarius for a third take on Russian music.
