About this Performance
Returning after previous successes, conductor Xian Zhang leads with Nokuthula Ngwenyama’s captivating and soaring Primal Message. The 2018 world premiere of Julia Adolphe’s LA Phil-commissioned Underneath the Sheen earned the composer praise for her ability to write with “grandeur as well as intimacy.” Adolphe’s new Violin Concerto—commissioned before the pandemic—will receive its first-ever performance with the help of Principal Concertmaster Martin Chalifour. Finally, it’s one of Beethoven’s most exciting symphonies, from the much-loved beauties of its funereal second movement to the ecstatic revels of its explosive finale.
This performance is generously supported in part by the Kohl Virtuoso Violin Fund.
