Experience an afternoon of sweeping melodies, dazzling virtuosity, and symphonic brilliance. Enescu’s Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 opens the program with vibrant folk-inspired energy, celebrating the rich musical traditions of his homeland.
The spotlight then turns to violinist Isabella Wang, winner of the Kay Meek Competition, performing Sibelius’ powerful Violin Concerto in D minor. Renowned for its soaring lyricism and technical demands, the concerto remains one of the most celebrated works in the violin repertoire.
