Sometimes ‘greatness’ is not immediately perceived. Each piece in this concert was initially met with skepticism or scorn but is now counted among the greatest music ever written. Beethoven’s “Eroica” initially had mixed reviews but he considered it his most important symphony, as would future generations. Soloist Erika Raum will prove Tchaikovsky was right about his great Violin Concerto, though it took many years for audiences to agree. It wasn’t until 30 years after “Pêcheurs de Perles” premiered, sadly long after Bizet’s death, that it was embraced. Matthew Jones, Music Director. Pre-concert chat from the stage at 7:40pm.
