Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No.1 in Ogden
This is an event page for a performance that has passed. Please visit our calendar to view upcoming performances.
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.”)
