This festive program opens with the U.S. premiere of the sparkling Suite para Orquestra by Spanish composer Rosa García Ascot. Violinist Tokuji Miyasaka, winner of the Philharmonic’s 2024 Don Bushell Competition, is the dazzling soloist in the Violin Concerto No. 1 by Niccolò Paganini, the composer/performer whose legendary virtuosity caused contemporaries to suspect him of an alliance with The Devil. We conclude with Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4, a work in which the composer displays amazing structural unity wedded to his characteristic rhapsodic intensity.
