Julian Rhee, violin
Take a journey with us as we travel through the regions of Austria, America, Poland and Germany to experience lyricism and connection through the noble spendor of orchestral compositional giants. The overture to Mozart’s short opera, Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario), and the Violin Concerto No. 2 by Wieniawski both engage the listener with beautiful, singing melodies that are contrasted with dramatic flair and comedic wit. Schubert was known for having composed over 600 lieder, and the singing quality of his melodies is heard throughout the “Great” symphony.
