A taste of the concert...


Two-time Grammy Award-winner Pinchas Zukerman makes his Orpheus debut, performing light-hearted and majestic works by Mozart and Beethoven. The orchestra’s first performance of J.C. Bach’s electrifying Symphony in G Minor, Op. 6, No. 6 is followed by the premiere of award-winning composer Harold Meltzer’s new commission for Orpheus. The program closes with Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin, a gentle tribute to fallen friends.

“Zukerman seems the forever-young virtuoso: expressively resourceful, infectiously musical, technically impeccable, effortless. As usual, it was a joy to be in his musical company.” – The Los Angeles Times

“Distinguished by its languid trills and beautiful, sweet tone,” Zukerman “offers technically solid and often highly expressive playing.” – The New York Times

“Zukerman plays Beethoven with a sweetness of tone and stratospheric accuracy, as well as timeless grace and authority.” – The Independent
