Jung-Ho Pak, Conductor Lindsay Deutsch, Violin

Alexander Glazunov - Antonio Vivaldi - Astor Piazzolla - Paul Salerni - Piotr Tchaikovsky - Overflowing goblets of bacchanal and wildly-dancing revelers toast the grape harvest in Glazunov’s autumn tableaux while country folk sing and dance to the fiddle in Vivaldi’s portrait of a hearty harvest celebration. Resonating from the opposite side of the globe, Piazzolla expresses autumn’s mood of abandonment with the rich rhythms of traditional Argentine tango music. In a violin solo, Salerni employs rhapsodic variations to describe Parco Querni, a beautiful park in Italy. Reflecting the season’s end as autumn leaves gently fall to the ground, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 moves from melancholy movements to a colorful finish. Strad Magazine’s pick of “Up-and-Coming Musicians,” violinist Lindsay Deutsch, brings great passion and energy to the AutumnFest repertoire.
