Lauded the world over for his eloquent playing and superb musicianship, Taiwanese-American violinist Cho-Liang Lin joins Pacific Symphony to kick off the New Year by serving as both conductor and featured soloist for a superb program that includes both Mozart’s brilliantly figured Violin Concerto No. 4 and his grand and festive “Haffner” Symphony, considered one of his great symphonic achievements.
The Dallas Morning News wrote of Lin: “…there is truth and beauty to his playing. He radiates integrity and affection,” while the Los Angeles Times calls the violinist “a rare combination of virtuosity and humanity.” Also on the program are Wagner’s peaceful and lyrical “Siegfried Idyll” and Dvořák’s resplendent musical gem, Romance in F Minor.
The concert takes place Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 7-9, 2016, at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets range from $25-$110. A preview talk with Alan Chapman begins at 7 p.m.
Also, Sunday Casual Connections takes place Jan. 10, 2016 at 3 p.m., offering the return of Lin as he leads a further exploration of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4, his “Haffner” Symphony and Wagner’s “Siegfried Idyll.” For more information or to purchase tickets, please call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
