CONCERT DETAILS
MSO Associate Conductor Ryan Tani takes the podium for a charismatic program beginning with Medea’s Dance of Vengeance, a passionate climax from Barber’s ballet about the murderous Medea. Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances also began as ballet music, but evolved into the composer’s most important symphonic work, full of ghostly waltzes, jazzy inflections, and more. Violinist Julian Rhee, winner of the 2024 Avery Fisher Career Grant, performs Korngold’s violin concerto; Korngold is best remembered for his film scores, and this “Hollywood concerto” draws material from his lushest cinematic themes.
