Violinist

Grammy Award-winning violinist Nicola Benedetti, whose playing “combines soaring lyrical sweetness with muscular confidence” (The Guardian), breathes new life into Brahms’ Violin Concerto. Alternating between serene moods and a rousing display of fun, the famed concerto embodies the Viennese spirit while putting Brahms’ playful side on full display. Karina Canellakis leads Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, universally praised for its rich themes and thematic dominance.
