media release: "Virtuoso Violin" - April 19, 2024
Closing out the 23/24 Masterworks Season we welcome French virtuoso violinist, Gilles Apap, to Beethoven’s “Violin Concerto in D” and Vaughan Williams’ “The Lark Ascending”. Described by Yehudi Menuhin as ’’a true violinist of the 21st century’’, Gilles is known for his virtuosity and unique approach. At just over 100 years old and inspired by a poem, “The Lark Ascending” was described by Vaughan Williams as a “pastoral romance for orchestra.” Opening the concert is “Sinfonietta” by E.J. Moeran, an English contemporary of Elgar and Vaughan Williams, whose music is charged with tremendous rhythmic energy.
Join us for the pre-concert talk in the Wisconsin Studio at Overture Center at 6:30 PM. Get closer to the music with insights from Maestro Andrew Sewell, WCO Concertmaster Suzanne Beia, and guest soloist Gilles Apap.
The night doesn't have to end when the music is over! Join us in Wisconsin Studio after the performance to celebrate the culmination of the Masterworks Series and look forward to what's in store for the 24/25 season.
These events are free and open to ticketholders.
Single tickets for both the Masterworks Season and individual performances are available for purchase through the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra's official website wcoconcerts.org. Due to the high demand and limited availability, early booking is strongly encouraged to secure preferred seating.
