Proclaimed “the outstanding American violinist of his generation” by Time Magazine, Gil Shaham is the recipient of countless accolades including a Grammy® and Musical America’s “Instrumentalist of the Year.” He returns to bring flawless technique and spirited warmth to every note of Dvořák’s Violin Concerto—from its powerhouse opening and lyrical slow movement to the lively finale infused with Slavic cheer.
Gianandrea Noseda closes the program with Schubert’s final Symphony No. 9, dubbed “The Great.” Hailed for its heavenly scale and songlike melodies, the work showcases the NSO’s unparalleled artistry in all its colorful splendor.
Celebrating Noseda’s 60th Birthday
Gianandrea Noseda has built a strong community of musicians who share his passion, creativity, and musical innovation. This season, he invites NSO audiences to join this elite circle with programs featuring some of his closest friends and collaborators.
“My life has been dedicated to music, and without the incredible artists by whom I am surrounded—from the NSO to my many friends and colleagues—I would not be here today.
“As I celebrate my 60th birthday throughout the season, I’m grateful to be surrounded by close friends like Gil Shaham, Seong-Jin Cho, Hilary Hahn, and Fazil Say. I can’t wait for you to experience the celebration, these remarkable artists, and the unbreakable bond we’ve created through music.”
—Gianandrea Noseda
