Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
Beethoven Symphony No. 6, Pastoral

Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto is undoubtedly one of the pillars of the violin repertoire. Brimful of iconic tunes and genuinely heart-stirring moments, and ending with a scintillating finale at breakneck pace, the Violin Concerto is the perfect vehicle to celebrate the stupendous talent of Augustin Hadelich. Renowned for his ability to look at “two-dimensional notes on paper” and create “four-dimensional marvels of sonic ingenuity,” his “almost supernatural command of every phrase” (Aspen Times) ensures that his rendition of the Tchaikovsky will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony is a gentle respite after the fire and fury of his Fifth. Twittering birds, rejoicing village folk and rippling streams of melody populate this loving picture of the European countryside. 

Augustin Hadelich appears with generous support from Susan and Donald Best.
