Arthur Post, conductor
Karen Gomyo, violin
NIELSEN Saga Dream
TCHAIKOVSKY Violin Concerto
SIBELIUS Symphony No. 2
Our exciting season begins with a grand, romantic gesture: the beloved Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, whose ravishing beauty, graceful melodies, and dizzying virtuosity have thrilled generations of adoring audiences, and which Karen Gomyo performs it brilliantly on her rare Stradivarius violin. Arthur Post also conducts Sibelius’s most popular symphony, filled with dark-hued sonorities and expansive brass chorales.
“Ms. Gomyo is a disciplined, poised player with a commanding technique.” New York Times
“Gomyo’s big sound, excellent tone, rich lyricism and, above all, compelling authority made her performance very pleasurable.” Houston Chronicle
