Led by Creative Partner and violinist Vadim Gluzman, our musicians perform Beethoven’s lyrical Septet – evoking beautiful sonorities and warm timbres through its unique ensemble mix of wind and string instruments. Rising star violinist Julian Rhee makes his ProMusica debut and joins Vadim for Schnittke’s compelling Concerto Grosso No. 1, showcasing the soloists’ and orchestra’s extraordinary virtuosity and musical flair.

Grammy-nominated composer Anna Clyne’s Stride, commissioned as part of Beethoven’s 2020 anniversary celebrations, highlights ProMusica’s strings, and Mendelssohn’s energetic and dramatic “Italian” Symphony brings a fiery, celebratory end to our 43rd season.
