Simone Lamsma, violin
Saturday, August 15 at 8:00 p.m.
Blossom Music Center
Program
Weber - Overture to Euryanthe
Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto
Sibelius - Symphony No. 5
Dazzling, breathtaking, and devilishly difficult. Perhaps the favorite violin concerto of all time — and certainly the most virtuosic — Tchaikovsky’s music is infused with rich, passionate melodies. The evening concludes with the epic music of Sibelius's great Fifth Symphony, mirroring the imponderable questions of a lifetime, and sounding out a resolutely positive affirmation.
