Mladí sólisté II

The concert will offer a varied program full of virtuosity and poetry. Ravel’s Rhapsody Gypsy, inspired by Romani music, is a celebration of violin brilliance. Frank Proto’s Nine Variations on Paganini for double bass and orchestra combines a famous theme with jazz lightness. Debussy’s Afternoon of a Faun will transport the listener to a dreamlike world of impressionistic moods. The finale will be the lyrical but technically demanding Violin Concerto by Samuel Barber.
