Hailed by The New York Times for his “dark-hued tone and razor-sharp technique,” violinist Yevgeny Kutik returns to the NBSO to perform both Prokofiev’s violin concertos – two virtuosic pieces that create opposite sound worlds. In this program of orchestral fireworks dedicated to the great Russian composer, the orchestra opens with a new rendition of the popular Peter and the Wolf and tops it off with a suite from the stirring ballet Romeo and Juliet.
Join Music Director Yaniv Dinur in the Penler Space at 6:30pm for a free pre-concert talk exploring the concert program.
