Petr Popelka & Hilary Hahn

Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto is packed with magical melodies and sparkling action, and there’s no more stylish interpreter than Hilary Hahn, one of the top violinists of our time, and the CSO’s former Artist-in-Residence. The Romantic journey begins with Schumann’s powerful Manfred Overture and concludes with Dvořák’s Fifth Symphony. Considered Dvořák’s symphonic breakthrough, the Fifth transports listeners from a Bohemian country meadow to a Viennese ballroom.
