- Verdi Overture to Nabucco
- Saint-Saëns Violin Concerto No. 3
- Dvořák Symphony No. 8
This program of 19th century treasures begins with Giuseppe Verdi’s Overture to Nabucco, known for catchy melodies that helped ignite a nationalist movement in Italy. One of our favorite soloists, former Met Opera violinist Ming-Feng Hsin, returns for Camille Saint-Saëns’ brilliantly inventive Third Violin Concerto. We finish with Antonín Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony, a highly original work imbued with the musical heritage of the Czech composer’s homeland.
