The success of Brahms’s sole Violin Concerto was hard-won, but now it's impossible to imagine the Romantic violin repertoire without it. Juraj Valčuha and Gil Shaham return for a luminous reading of the ultimate sleeper hit. Shostakovich’s intensely passionate, profoundly ambivalent Symphony No. 10 brims over with real-life references—ranging from a portrait of the late Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin to musically coded proxies for the composer himself and the object of his hopeless midlife crush.
Open rehearsals begin at 10:00am and end at 12:30pm, with a short intermission.
