Events Description
Join Conductor Emeritus Peter Oundjian and Concertmaster Jonathan Crow for a spectacular performance of Mendelssohn’s melodic and tender Violin Concerto, alongside the mystery and intrigue of Elgar’s “Enigma” Variations. Joan Tower’s suite from her Concerto for Orchestra opens, shining a spotlight on the vivacity of the orchestra.
Choose this concert if…
You love rooting for the home team—Our very own Concertmaster, Jonathan Crow, brings Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto to life with lyricism and fire.
You’re a rule breaker—Mendelssohn threw out the old playbook when writing this concerto, giving us a piece that feels surprisingly fresh and modern despite its 1844 debut.
You’re curious—Elgar’s Enigma Variations is full of mystery, each movement a musical portrait of someone in his life (and one big unsolved riddle: the hidden theme he never revealed).
You want to hear something fresh—Joan Tower is one of America’s most celebrated living composers, and this Canadian première is a 12-minute thrill ride that shows off every section of the orchestra.
You enjoy variety—This program has tenderness, intrigue, and high-octane orchestral brilliance, all in one night.
