Attending a large orchestral concert at Mechanics Hall is always a special event, particularly when an ensemble of this caliber is on stage. The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine is one of the finest symphonies of Eastern Europe. Under the direction of Volodymyr Sirenko, the orchestra performs an evening of orchestral greats featuring soloist Maya Wichert. The program begins with Bortniansky’s lesser-performed Il Quinto Fabio Overture, written with levity, decoration, and elegance. Then hear violinist Maya Wichert – winner of competitions like the International Anton Rubinstein Competition, Jugend musiziert, and Neue Liszt Stiftung – perform Sibelius’ scenic and transcendent Violin Concerto. The program concludes with a melancholy yet strong performance of Berezovsky’s Our Father, followed by Brahms’ Symphony No. 4, the composer’s intense final symphony that references Bach’s choral writing throughout.
Program:
Bortniansky - Il Quinto Fabio Overture
Sibelius - Violin Concerto (Maya Wichert, soloist)
Berezovsky - Our Father
Brahms - Symphony No. 4
