In this undoubtedly moving program, Grammy Award-winning cellist Zuill Bailey, the current Artist-in-Residence with the Charleston Symphony, collaborates with the orchestra and Concertmaster Bekker for Brahms’ Double Concerto for Violin and Cello.
Hungarian composer Béla Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra is a riveting work written while in exile in New York during World War II, and a product of creative genius that reflects but does not dwell on the composer’s heart-wrenching homesickness.
Kensho Watanabe, who is conducting the Charleston Symphony for the first time, is a multi-talented conductor who has frequently led highly regarded ensembles, including the Houston Grand Opera, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Calgary Philharmonic, and the Opera Theatre St. Louis.
