Yehuda Gilad, Conductor and Music Director Duncan McDougall, Violin
The two critically-panned works on this program have since become audience favorites thanks to their expressive melodies and unique composition. Unlike most symphonies, Shostakovich’s Sixth starts with an achingly emotional slow movement before plunging toward a fast and fiery finish. In Tchaikovsky’s lively Violin Concerto, the virtuosic demands made on the soloist never fail to leave listeners awestruck. A David Hockney-inspired piece by Sarah Gibson opens the concert.
The Colburn Orchestra is generously underwritten by Eva and Marc Stern.
This performance is generously supported by Beverly C. Marksbury.
