Gil Shaham Plays Tchaikovsky

Conductor Kwamé Ryan returns for a program of passion, virtuosity and expansive Romantic expression. Legendary violinist Gil Shaham showcases his expressive brilliance in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, a perfect example of the interplay between soloists and orchestra - at times in opposition to each other but always in sync. While 200 years apart, Schubert's Ninth Symphony and Carlos Simon's Fate Now Conquers are influenced by Beethoven's musical legacy \(including some direct quotes!\). Their individual statements attest to concepts of the Romantic - vast canvases of sound, sweeping melodies and heart-pounding climaxes.
