About this Performance

Symphonic Dances is not so much a collection of dances as it is a series of dramatic tone poems, filled with moodily memorable melodies, eerie waltzes, and a triumphant, virtuosic finale. An audience favorite, violinist Augustin Hadelich reveals “something from a plane beyond ours,” performing Mendelssohn’s wonderfully lyric, virtuosic violin concerto.
