Featuring Will Hagen, violin

Mozart’s Overture to Don Giovanni opens with dramatic intensity and theatrical brilliance, setting the stage for an evening of contrast. Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, written at the height of his creative power, remains one of the most beloved works in the repertoire. Both lyrical and virtuosic, it offers the soloist a wide expressive range while maintaining elegance and balance. Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra brings the program to a brilliant conclusion. A true modern classic, it reveals the full range of the orchestra, with instruments featured in dialogue across sections. At times playful and mysterious, the work builds toward a brilliant and exhilarating finale.
