Overview
Conductor Elias Grandy leads a powerhouse program that pairs a showpiece for violin with one of the most thrilling symphonies ever written, with Concertmaster Joo Young Oh.
Sibelius’s Violin Concerto is music of ice and fire with haunting lyricism and a solo part that feels both fearless and intensely personal. Taking the spotlight is Luka Faulisi, a rising star on today’s concert scene, bringing virtuosity and intensity to one of the repertoire’s most iconic concertos.
After the interval comes Saint-Saëns’s Symphony No. 3 “Organ Symphony”, a true crowd favorite. From dark, dramatic beginnings to its famous final surge, it builds into a monumental climax as the organ enters in full force, played by Aydan Alakbarova in an unforgettable finish.
