ABOUT THIS CONCERT
Grammy Award winner James Ehnes (“a violinist in a class of his own,” The Times) sets toes tapping and spirits soaring with Dvořák’s exuberant Violin Concerto. Discover a new favorite composer as Juraj Valčuha shares music of Vítězslava Kaprálová, who left a powerful stamp on the music world despite her tragically early death at the age of 25. Blazing with triumphant fanfares and powered by an extra-large brass section, 12 trumpets strong, Janáček’s Sinfonietta closes the program with festive flourish.
What to Expect:
- A virtuoso performance from one of the world’s greatest violinists
- A lively celebration of great Czech composers
- So many trumpets! (Most orchestral works call for 2 or 3, but in Janáček’s Sinfonietta, you’ll see a staggering 12.)
- Classic rock fans will recognize Janáček’s Sinfonietta from its use in Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s “Knife-Edge.”
