Visions and Voices will take USC students to an enchanting concert presented by the Los Angeles Philharmonic featuring prodigy violinist María Dueñas at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Students will also join a pre-show lecture with musician and educator Rachel Iba.
“With her gorgeous sound—dense, warm, and brilliant—and her immaculate technique, [María] Dueñas is already at the top” (Bachtrack). The Gen-Z violinist makes her highly anticipated return to Walt Disney Concert Hall with Korngold’s mesmerizing and theatrical Violin Concerto. Like Dueñas, Korngold was one of classical music’s great child prodigies, and he went on to become one of the most influential film composers in Hollywood. The Violin Concerto showcases melodic ideas from his film scores and highlights the shimmering virtuosity of the instrument.
Colombian conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada makes his LA Phil debut, leading the Korngold piece alongside Dvořák’s austere Seventh Symphony, a piece he hoped would “make a stir in the world.” And that, it did—becoming a critically acclaimed work among Romantic symphonies for its rumbling percussion and warm, lyrical spirit.
