DANIELE RUSTIONI conducts
ALEXI KENNEY violin

BARBER Violin Concerto
CASELLA Symphony No. 2 in C minor (DSO Premiere)

Rising star violinist Alexi Kenney and Principal Guest Conductor at the Metropolitan Opera Daniele Rustioni join together for one of the most-performed 20th century masterpieces. From the first note, the violin makes its presence known with soaring, lyrical serenity and, traversing a lush middle movement of somewhat darker hue, plunges into a moto perpetuo (perpetual motion) with wild abandon that calls on all of the soloist’s virtuoso resources. You’ll also be treated to a first-time DSO performance of Casella’s Second Symphony, described by Gramophone as “a turbulent, lusciously opulent outpouring,” reminiscent of Strauss, Mahler and Rimsky-Korsakov.

This genre-blurring chamber music program offers a rich, rhythmic blend of the soulful, the contemplative and the inventive. From Romantic, lyrical string trios to contemporary works of propulsive beats and bold musical colors, this program flows like a conversation across time and culture, beginning with Antonín Dvořák’s Terzetto for Two Violins and Viola before springing forward to explore chamber music from the 21st century. It’s a vibrant showcase of small groups of musicians, with works for strings and wind ensembles.
