OVERVIEW

Prokofiev’s dreamlike Violin Concerto No. 1 is performed by Concertmaster Madeline Adkins and Dvorák’s In Nature’s Realm brings the beauty of the countryside to the concert hall. The program is bookended by two Strauss tone poems—a powerful exploration of Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth and a witty depiction of the mischievous exploits of a German trickster in Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks. (Strauss said of the piece: “I only wanted to give the people in the concert hall a good laugh for once.”)

This performance is part of our Masterworks Magnified series, designed to invite audiences to experience our music in new ways—with added elements like video projections and special lighting in the concert hall, conversations with the performers, and fun lobby activities on theme with the concert.
