Our artistic director will perform Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E Minor on May 18. https://lnkd.in/eUhs6e_8
Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64, is one of his most popular works and one of the most frequently performed of all violin concerti. It premiered in Leipzig on March 13, 1845. Mendelssohn, then conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, composed his concerto with violinist Ferdinand David, his concertmaster, in mind. The men had been good friends since they were teenagers. On the day of the premiere, David was the soloist, but Mendelssohn, who was ill, could not conduct his new work, so the orchestra was led instead by Mendelssohn’s assistant, Danish conductor and composer Niels Gade. I performed this concerto at the Leipzig Gewandhaus in Lepzig, Germany, in the Mendelssohn-Saal leading the orchestra without a conductor, just as we will perform it with NCE on May 18th at Marymount University's Ballston Center. (Enjoy a short clip from the finale of the concerto). For info: https://lnkd.in/e7YV-tJy Eva Adolfo
