KABALEVSKY................Colas Breugnon Overture

PROKOFIEV...................Selections from Romeo and Juliet

BRAHMS........................Violin Concerto

JoAnn Falletta, conductor

Midori, violin

In his only concerto for violin, Brahms presents a formidable challenge for even the most virtuosic musician. World-renowned violinist Midori is sure to enrapture you as she effortlessly conquers the concerto once thought unplayable. Before Midori steals the show, the VSO will undertake Kabalevsky’s energetic and assertive Colas Breugnon Overture as well as notorious scenes from Prokofiev’s dramatic rendering of Romeo and Juliet.
