Conductor: Julian Rachlin
Soloist: Benjamin Beilman, violin

Program:
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade – symphonic suite, Op. 35 (1888)
Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 (1878)

Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade opens the concert with the magic of One Thousand and One Nights, where the violin—performed by the concertmaster—emerges as Scheherazade’s own voice and carries her stories through the music.

This is followed by Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, one of the repertoire’s most passionate and emotionally charged works, which Benjamin Beilman fills with both technical brilliance and lyrical warmth.

Together, Rachlin and Beilman create a musical journey this evening in which the orchestra brings fairy tales,
emotions, and the joy of storytelling to life—without a single word.
