Stunning musical vistas color this program that carries you from a windswept ocean to glistening snowclad peaks. And at its heart is revealed one of the great violin concertos, filled with soaring melodies and astonishing virtuoso turns for the soloist—mastered here by the great Gil Shaham.

Embark with us on a musical journey! With Ravel, we set sail on an ocean voyage, the music summoning the rise of the waves and the sweep of the horizon. Richard Strausss monumental An Alpine Symphony depicts an ascent through sunlit mountain meadows, mists, and storms to the summit, a metaphor for human achievement and a paean to magnificent nature.  

 

Mid-journey, we encounter another astonishing natural wonder: the internationally acclaimed violinist Gil Shaham in Bruchs Violin Concerto No. 1, a classic that delights audiences with its melodies and lushly lyrical orchestral writing. It challenges the soloist with devilishly difficult passages. It's a challenge met by Shaham, hailed as among the most inspired violinists of his generation (The Guardian).
