Esa-Pekka Salonen, Conductor
Ray Ushikubo, Violin
Conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen returns to Walt Disney Concert Hall for an all-Finnish program featuring some of Sibelius’s greatest hits. After an ethereal piece by Kaija Saariaho – a work dedicated to Salonen himself – the violin shines in Sibelius’s brooding Violin Concerto, an expressive and technically-challenging showcase of the instrument. The concert concludes with the soaring melodies and triumphant timbre of Sibelius’s Second Symphony.
Esa-Pekka Salonen holds the Maestro Ernst H. Katz Chair of Conducting Studies at the Colburn School.
The Colburn Orchestra is generously underwritten by Eva and Marc Stern.
