Tchaikovsky’s triumphant Symphony No. 4 begins the new season, along with the heralded debut of violinist Melissa White performing the lushly romantic Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1. “White’s playing was breathtaking…[there are] no other words for the grace, precision, and warmth she brought to the stage” gushes the Maryland Theatre Guide. The Symphony No. 4 is among Tchaikovsky’s most popular works with its awe-inspiring journey from darkness to light. JMR leads this program of deep emotion and symphonic fireworks that begins with the effervescent Ruslan und Lyudmila Overture of Glinka.
