ProMusica Chamber Orchestra closed out the 2015-2016 season with two of classical music's greatest masterpieces...Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 and Schubert’s Symphony No. 9, also known as simply, The Great.
Vadim Gluzman, ProMusica's Creative Partner and Principal Guest Artist, teamed with PMCO Music Director David Danzmayr in a riveting performance of the Prokofiev. If you attended ProMusica's concerts in December, you will certainly remember the electric performance by of Vivaldi's Four Seasonsby Vadim and ProMusica. This was also a don't-miss season finale!
In a conversation with PMCO Music Director David Danzmayr, we spoke about performing with Vadim Gluzman...AND what it takes to make the Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 2 come alive.
If you missed it, here's a sneak peek of the Prokofiev Concerto with Vadim Gluzman.

The second half of the concert was given over to Schubert's symphonic masterpiece, the Symphony No. 9, often called The Great. David says it is something of a hybrid work...a blending of the Classical and Romantic periods it straddles.
Here's the finale...
