SIBELIUS Violin Concerto
BRAHMS Symphony No. 1
An audience favorite for more than a century, Sibelius’s Violin Concerto is a beautiful combination of lyricism and virtuosity—perfect for displaying the fiery talents of our soloist. As the Daily Telegraph raved, “From the moment he takes the stage, Grammy Award-nominee violinist Philippe Quint captivates audiences with his charismatic presence.” André Raphel Smith leads Brahms’s gripping First Symphony, which begins with a dramatic pulse in the timpani and ends with bright and brilliant horn calls.
