This concert spotlights our beloved Concertmaster, Carrie Krause, performing Ludwig van Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, which is considered to be his most lyrical work. Following will be Walker’s Lyric for Strings, an impactfully poignant piece that Walker dedicated in memory of his maternal grandmother, who escaped from slavery. Then be transported to Italy with Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4, The Italian, which evokes the sights and sounds from his 10-month trip to the country.
