Violinist Vadim Gluzman concludes his residency by returning to the stage as soloist in Tchaikovsky’s monumental Violin Concerto – one of the most technically difficult works for the instrument. Music Director Jean-Marie Zeitouni and the CMF Orchestra also present Anatoly Liadov’s brief, but transcendent “Enchanted Lake.” For the second half of the program, Modest Mussorgsky’s vivid and ponderous “Pictures at an Exhibition” is paired with stunning new projected animation developed by a team of professors and students at the University of Southern California to celebrate the opening of Frank Gehry’s stunning New World Center in Miami.

Liadov The Enchanted Lake
Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D Major
