This uniquely groundbreaking and exhilarating ensemble has been celebrated as one of the world’s great orchestras since its 1932 founding by Sir Thomas Beecham and through conducting tenures by Bernard Haitink, Sir Georg Solti, Klaus Tennstedt, and Kurt Masur, among others. Heard by millions of people on the soundtrack for The Lord of the Rings and other films, the orchestra performs works by its composer-in-residence Tania León and Benjamin Britten (whose Sinfonia da Requiem has not been performed on a UMS program in over 50 years), as well as Jean Sibelius’s triumphant Symphony No. 5. The boundary-breaking violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja (aka “Pat Kop”) brings her “rare expressive energy and disarming informality” (The New York Times) to UMS, as soloist in Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1, which was originally composed for the great Russian violinist David Oistrakh.
