PROGRAM:
MENDELSSOHN: Fingal’s Cave Overture (The Hebrides)
BRUCH: Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor
DVOŘÁK: Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, From the New World
Often greeted by standing ovations even before he plays a single note, the Grammy- and Emmy-winning violin legend Itzhak Perlman continues to inspire audiences with a “honeyed tone, warm phrasing and honest emotion that few violinists have ever equaled” (Miami Herald). Hear Perlman perform Bruch’s compelling First Concerto, rich and lyrical with a sizzling gypsy-themed finale. The evening concludes with Dvořák’s celebrated New World Symphony, whose nods toward American folk songs and spirituals reflects the diverse beauty of the American landscape.
