"Gidon Kremer’s incandescent violin playing illuminates any style of music he chooses to focus on." – The New Yorker

Violin legend Gidon Kremer performs 24 Preludes by 20th century Polish-born Soviet composer Mieczyslaw Weinberg, whose music shares common ground with that of his friend and mentor Shostakovich, while maintaining its originality by incorporating myriad musical styles. A champion of Weinberg, Kremer gives the first U.S. performance of his transcription of the composer’s technically and emotionally complex score.

Program: Mieczyslaw Weinberg: 24 Preludes, Op. 100 (transcribed from cello to violin by Gidon Kremer)

Leadership support for music programming in 2017 provided by the Anne and Chris Flowers Foundation and the Thompson Family Foundation.
