Stefan Jackiw performs a new violin concerto written expressly for him by noted pianist and composer Conrad Tao. Also on the program, Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits interprets two contrasting symphonies: Stravinsky’s Symphony in Three Movements was written shortly after he moved to the U.S. and draws inspiration from World War II. Rachmaninoff’s poignant Third Symphony was written in exile in America and reflects his memories of the old Russia.

These concerts run approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, which includes a 20 minute intermission.
