The talents of extraordinary young string players are showcased in an exquisite program of early- and late-Romantic masterworks. Augustin Hadelich, Musical America’s 2018 Instrumentalist of the Year, is one of the most acclaimed artists of his generation. He will perform one of the most beloved works in the violin repertoire, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto. Also on the program is the US premiere of Anders Hillborg's Homage to Stravinsky and R. Stauss's Don Quixote, Fantastic Variations on a Theme of Knightly Character.
