Violin sensation Leonidas Kavakos, acclaimed for his matchless technique, captivating artistry, and superb musicianship, promises to enrapture us as he performs Brahms’ impassioned Violin Concerto.  Said to be inspired by Brahms’ compositional style, Dvořák’s profoundly intimate Seventh Symphony comes after experiencing the deaths of his daughter and mother in which he examines the meanderings of his soul and the search for answers to elementary issues of human existence.

Jean-Yves Thibaudet, piano

Monday, January 13 at 7:30 pm

The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts

French pianist extraordinaire Jean-Yves Thibaudet will perform Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major.  Chicago Classical noted, “Few keyboard artists embody Ravel’s blend of supple elegance and unbridled bravura so naturally and effortlessly.”  Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony has an overwhelmingly uplifting, enthusiastic spirit that is steeped in wartime patriotism.  Prokofiev indicated this work is, “…very important not only for the musical material that went into it, but also because I was returning to the symphonic form after a break of 16 years.  The Fifth Symphony is the culmination of an entire period in my work.  I conceived of it as a symphony on the greatness of the human soul.”
