Music for the Soul (Sunday Performance)

Fresh from her solo appearance with the Boston Symphony at its opening night concert for the season, 18-year-old Keila Wakao will move and dazzle listeners with her unique virtuosity and deeply felt playing. First prize winner of both the Menuhin Junior Division and Stulberg International competitions, Keila has received numerous other awards and will again appear as soloist with the Boston Symphony in the coming Tanglewood season. She will perform the most popular American violin concerto, written by “hyper-romantic” composer Samuel Barber. Dvořák’s cheerful and lyrical Symphony No. 8 and a Dvořák-inspired work by the African-English Coleridge-Taylor will round out the program.
