Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra with Lisa Batiashvili, violin

Regularly noted as one of the world's most versatile symphonic orchestras with soloistic qualities and robust musical prowess, the Amsterdam-based Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra makes its first return to Washington in five years, conducted by Finnish chief conductor designate Klaus Mäkelä.
The concert opens with a new composition by Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer and sound artist Ellen Reid (p r i s m, Push/Pull). Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2, a masterpiece of fleeting tranquility punctuated by episodes of abrupt changes in mood and tonality, is performed with the “rich and technically immaculate” (The Guardian) playing of Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili. The program concludes with Rachmaninov’s textured, bombastic, and serene Symphony No. 2— a work with which the composer avenged the failure of his First. And how!
