Event Details
Dynamic violinist Melissa White is known to MSO audiences for her memorable appearances on our stage with the Harlem Quartet. This season, she’s back as a soloist to perform a concerto by American composer Florence Price. We conclude with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 1 “Winter Dreams.”
What happens when we pair Tchaikovsky’s First Symphony with the music of Florence Price? There’s no question that Price was influenced by Tchaikovsky—her First Violin Concerto echoes him directly in places. With the help of the radiant Melissa White, we explore that connection and celebrate two composers whose music is filled with emotion and depth. And we begin the evening with a barn-burner of an overture by Verdi—dramatic, powerful, and unforgettable.
