Soar into a soundscape of beauty and reinvention with a program that bridges tradition with bold reinvention!
Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending is a lyrical evocation of the English countryside, where a solo violin soars like a birdsong over a shimmering orchestral backdrop. Then, immerse yourself in the spiritual depth and quiet strength of his Symphony No. 5, a deeply moving work born out of wartime darkness and infused with hope and transcendence.
Ground-breaking composer Max Richter’s innovative and bold reimagining of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons topped the classical charts in 22 countries in 2012 and continues to captivate audiences worldwide in countless soundtracks including Bridgerton and The Crown.
“Even in an age when brilliant young violinists seem to grow on trees, Hagen is a standout." — Dallas Morning News
