About this Event

Program:

Ludwig van Beethoven - Egmont Overture

Jennifer Higdon - Selections from Dance Card

Max Bruch - Violin Concerto No. 1, Robin Sharp - violin


Join us in celebrating the amazing Robin Sharp’s twenty years as concertmaster of the SFCO. Robin’s incredible artistry and leadership have lifted the SFCO to new heights, and her beautiful violin playing has charmed audiences for decades. Robin will perform Max Bruch’s iconic Violin Concerto in G minor, one of the most beloved pieces in the violin repertoire. Featuring the virtuoso SFCO string players, Dance Card, by Grammy Award winner Jennifer Higdon, “is a celebration of the joy, lyricism and passion of a group of strings playing together! This work reflects the deep commitment that string players bring to their music making, not only in the many years of learning to play their instruments, but also in the dedication manifested in gorgeous music-making as an ensemble.” Our program opens with Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, the tragic and triumphant story of a hero’s fight against tyranny and oppression. The dramatic score has captured the imagination of listeners for centuries, becoming a symbol of the struggle for liberty and freedom.
