ABOUT THIS CONCERT
Korngold’s Violin Concerto contains everything audiences love about violin concertos, in spades: shimmering beauty, finger-flying fireworks, and melodies that soar to the stratosphere as only a violin can. Journey into a world of boundless innovation and imagination as the Symphony gives the world premiere of Al-Jazari’s Ingenious Clocks, inspired by the fantastical inventions of 12th century Islamic polymath Ismail al-Jazari. Prokofiev’s Cinderella whisks us through a world of fairy tale magic, leading up to the stroke of midnight.
What to Expect:
- “You shall go to the ball!” Glass slippers, magic pumpkins, and fairy tale romance awaits with music from Prokofiev’s Cinderella.
- Hear Simone Lamsma soar in Korngold’s breathtaking Violin Concerto
- Before John Williams or Hans Zimmer, there was Erich Wolfgang Korngold: revel in lush, impassioned music by one of the pioneers of the Hollywood film score
