Concerts
March 20, 2026 – May 24, 2026
Dallas Symphony Orchestra: Alexi Kennedy Plays Barber
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.
