Saint-Saëns unleashes the grandeur of the pipe organ in a symphony that embraces serenity and scales heights of euphoria. And Brahms’ Violin Concerto — from its pastoral opening to its boisterous finale — is flush with striking lyricism, making it the perfect vehicle for violinist James Ehnes’ “velvety sound and sensitivity” (New York Times).
CONCERT CONVERSATION
Conducted one hour before each performance, the Concert Conversation will feature Violinist James Ehnes and Raúl Gómez-Rojas, host of All Classical Radio.
