Artist-in-Residence Simone Lamsma brings her “brightly radiant sound” (New York Times) to Bruch’s poetic Violin Concerto, one of the most cherished works written for the instrument. And Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra transforms each section of the orchestra into spotlit soloists in an emotional odyssey from sorrow to an affirmation of life.

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).
