Don’t miss the world premiere of American composer Matthew Aucoin’s first symphony. An AMFS co-commission, this new orchestral work features a major vocal part for the Grammy award winning mezzo Joyce DiDonato. The incomparable Augustin Hadelich performs Barber’s only Violin Concerto, a piece which overflows with lyric beauty in the first two movements and provides a big dose of adrenaline in the dazzling perpetual-motion conclusion.
Enescu’s first Romanian Rhapsody also begins with one captivating melody after another before taking off with a frenzied finale that will make you want to get up and dance.
