Vadim Gluzman violin

Program: Mendelssohn, Ruy Blas Overture; Mendelssohn, Violin Concerto; Brahms, Symphony No. 1.

Praised by The Washington Post for his “commanding technique, spontaneity and visionary breadth,” Vadim Gluzman will dazzle you with Mendelssohn’s beloved Violin Concerto. You will hear Brahms at his orchestral height in a work that captures the pent-up creativity of a composer who waited decades before attempting to write a symphony, haunted by the thought of following Beethoven’s revolutionary Ninth. In a work sometimes called “Beethoven’s Tenth Symphony,” Brahms continues the legacy of the composer whose shadow loomed large.

Tickets for this event are only available through the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra: 1-800-255-3476.
