Korngold's Violin Concerto

Experience a captivating evening of music that bridges continents and eras in Korngold’s Violin Concerto, a dazzling performance from the Utah Symphony. Join conductor Thierry Fischer and rising star Clara-Jumi Kang, a violinist celebrated for her passion and precision, as she makes her Utah Symphony debut with this iconic concerto. Hear how Korngold masterfully weaves themes from his beloved film scores – *Another Dawn*, *Anthony Adverse*, and *The Prince and the Pauper* – into a vibrant tapestry of sound. The program journey’s beyond Vienna and Hollywood, exploring a rich landscape of musical expression. From the evocative shadows of Silvestre Revueltas’ “Noche de Encantamiento,” drawn from the classic Mexican film *La noche de los mayas*, to the groundbreaking soundscape of Edgard Varèse’s *Amériques*, inspired by the industrial heart of New York City, this concert is a testament to the power of artistic exchange. The evening culminates in Gabriela Ortiz’s *Téenek*, a triumphant work that celebrates unity and hope through the recognition and blending of diverse identities – a powerful message to conclude the season.
