STRAUSS: Don Quixote, Op. 35
We begin with Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, a dazzling masterpiece brimming with passion and virtuosity. Written after a tumultuous period in the composer’s life, this concerto is a thrilling showcase of fiery technical brilliance and soul-stirring melodies. Our soloist, the internationally acclaimed Tai Murray, brings her breathtaking artistry to this iconic work.
Then, prepare for a musical adventure with Strauss’s Don Quixote, a tone poem that brings Cervantes’ legendary knight to life. With vivid orchestral storytelling, you’ll hear windmills turning, sheep bleating, and Quixote soaring through the skies. Our own principal musicians, Cécilia Tsan (cello) and Andrew Duckles (viola), take on the roles of Don Quixote and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza.
Don’t miss this evening of drama, humor, and breathtaking music—it’s a concert experience you won’t forget!
