José-Luis Novo, Artistic Director & Conductor, The Philip Richebourg Chair
Esther, Behzad Ranjbaran
Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major, op. 19, Sergei Prokofiev, Esther Yoo, violin
Symphony No. 2 in D major, op. 73, Johannes Brahms Maestro
José-Luis Novo said: “I am very much looking forward to this program for the complementing aspects of the three different works we are performing: Prokofiev and Ranjhbaran have a comparable evocative writing, one that draws you in with their use of a vibrant orchestral palette. Brahms’s Second Symphony is always a pure joy to experience live because of its genuine connections to nature, the solemnity of its intimate second movement and the festive character of its finale.”
