Details:
From myth to fire to consolation, this program traces a journey through passion, virtuosity and reflection. Dorothy Howell’s Lamia opens with a darkly lyrical, evocative story of a nymph and her fate at the hands of a jealous god. In her CSO debut, violinist Alexandra Conunova brings fiery energy and soaring lyricism to Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto, one of the 20th century’s great Romantic concertos. Two choral works by Brahms offer final consolation: Nänie laments the inevitability of death through three episodes from Greek mythology, while Schicksalslied ("Song of Destiny") contrasts the eternal bliss of immortals with the restlessness of human existence.
