La Jolla Symphony & Chorus: Violin Concerto & Harmonium
December 7–8, 2019
Steven Schick, conductor Celeste Oram Thomas Nee Commission Robert Schumann Violin Concerto John Adams Harmonium Soloist: Keir GoGwilt, violin Keir GoGwilt, who dazzled in Thomas Adès’ Violin Concerto two seasons ago, returns with another unfamiliar (and very different) piece, the Violin Concerto of Robert Schumann, one of that doomed composer’s final works. The La Jolla Symphony Chorus joins the orchestra for the work that launched John Adams’ career: Harmonium sets texts by John Donne and Emily Dickinson, and its premiere in 1981 announced the arrival of a major composer. Celeste Oram, this year’s Nee Commission winner, continues our tradition of melding music and visual art.Date and Time
