André Raphel, Guest Conductor
Midori, violin
The concert
There is a reason Midori is a household name. Known for her "breathtaking" intensity and grace, she joins us to perform a concerto written by Beethoven at the peak of his powers. Plus, you’ll experience Shostakovich’s gripping, intense Symphony No. 10 – a cinematic journey that will leave you on the edge of your seat. The concert opens with a work by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Jennifer Higdon.
The Program
Jennifer Higdon: TenFold
Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Concerto
Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 10
The experience
