COLORADO MUSIC FESTIVAL: Hadelich Plays Beethoven’s Violin Concerto

  • The Colorado Chautauqua (map)

Delight in Beethoven’s only violin concerto, a vivacious and melodic treasure that Music Director Peter Oundjian calls “the pinnacle of all violin concertos.” This masterpiece requires as skilled a musician as the Grammy-winning Augustin Hadelich, an artist of “scarcely believable commitment” (New York Times); this concert is Hadelich’s second program as the Festival’s 2021 artist-in-residence. Bartók once said of his fellow composer that “all Kodály’s composing activity is rooted only in Hungarian soil” — hear a fine example of Kodály’s flair for folk in his Dances of Galánta. Weber’s overture to his opera Oberon adds drama to this program from its very first horn solo.
