Gil Shaham
Audience favorite violinist Gil Shaham leads the Orchestra and takes center stage in this program of instrumental virtuosity. At the heart of the program is Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons." Composed just before his move from Italy to Vienna, tthese four spectacular violin concertos stand as the pinnacle of Baroque music. Each concerto unfolds with vivid imagery and emotional depth, painting a vibrant musical portrait of nature's ever-changing moods and landscapes. The concert is a brilliant showcase for Shaham demonstrating him to be “a virtuoso and a player of deeply intense sincerity.” (The New York Times)
