Violinist Andrew Sords has been cited for “a flawless performance displaying not only mastery of his instrument but also maturity and sensitivity,” by the Arizona Sun and from the Palm Springs Sun “not just technically superb; it was melodious, resonant, expressive, and passionate. The audience could not stop applauding.” Andrew Sords' performance of Richard Strauss’s vibrant and youthful Violin Concerto in D minor is not to be missed. Composed when Strauss was only 17, the concerto may be less frequently performed than his later tone poems and operas, but it remains a captivating showcase of late-Romantic virtuosity and artistic promise. Time: 19:30 - 21:00
The concert opens with Leopold Stokowski’s dramatic orchestral arrangement of J. S. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, made famous by Disney’s Fantasia. Inspired by a walking tour through the ruins of Holyrood Chapel in Edinburgh, Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 in A minor (“Scottish”) brings the program — and the MSO’s season — to an exuberant close.
MSO is a Hylton Performing Arts Center "Arts Partner" and is funded by the City of Manassas, Prince William County, and the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Adult tickets are $35 and include all fees. Children and student tickets are free.
Hylton Performing Arts Center is at 10960 George Mason Circle, Manassas, VA.
