Violin phenom Randall Goosby is following in his teacher Itzhak Perlman’s footsteps to worldwide fame. He makes his NWS subscription debut performing Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Concerto. Deemed unplayable before its premiere, the masterpiece is full of virtuosic fireworks with its unwavering passion, flowing lyricism and folkloric dance rhythms. In Absolute Jest, legendary American composer John Adams plays with musical fragments from Ludwig van Beethoven. This inspiring work for solo string quartet and orchestra features the principal strings of the New York Philharmonic. The timpani steals the spotlight in Gabriela Oritz’s Antrópolis and Maurice Ravel’s grand waltz forms a “fantastic whirl of destiny” as he reflects on post-WWI Europe.
