Memories of the Old Country
Stephen Dankner’s Klezmer
Fantasy for Cello and Orchestra brilliantly
combines symphonic sound with traditional Jewish folk music.
Gifted Israeli-American cello virtuoso, Matt Haimovitz gained
particular attention for his solo recital tour in unconventional
venues, bringing concert music to new listeners (in roadhouses,
bars, pizza parlors, etc.). For this work, Dankner imagines
the orchestra as a giant Klezmer Band, paying homage to his
and Haimovitz’s Jewish ancestry. Haimovitz also performs
Shostakovich’s Cello
Concerto No. 1, with Bartok’s Rumanian
Folk Dances and the Schubert “Unfinished” Symphony finishing
the program.
schubert: Symphony No. 8, “Unfinished”

| Cellist Matt Haimovitz is as likely to be found playing Bach in a pizzeria or jazz club as in a major concert hall. Matt was discovered by Itzhak Perlman at age 10, and was anointed a prodigy at 13 when he made his debut as soloist with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic. |
