BARBER Violin Concerto
DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 8
Music Director Jonathon Heyward sheds light on Dvořák’s sun-drenched Eighth Symphony, a celebration of the Bohemian countryside filled with cheerful birdsong and brilliant fanfare. James Lee III kicks off his tenure as BSO Composer in Residence with his Visions of Cahokia, an expressive three-movement work that depicts the Cahokia Mounds Historic Site and celebrates indigenous Mississippian culture. Violinist James Ehnes interprets Barber's sensitive and tuneful concerto with his signature elegance, an approach that solidified Ehnes as a GRAMMY®-winning recording artist.
