Rachel Barton Pine & Dvořák’s 7th
Andrew Constantine, conductor
Rachel Barton Pine, violin
Internationally acclaimed concert violinist Rachel Barton Pine performs with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic for an inspired evening of works by Clarice Assad, Samuel Barber, and Antonín Dvořák.
Clarice Assad's Impressions, for string orchestra, draws upon her own Brazilian musical heritage as well as her experience as a performer across many genres including classical and jazz. The lush tones of Barber's beloved Violin Concerto, Op. 14 result in an intimate sound, ideal to showcase the talents of guest violinist Rachel Barton Pine. With its rhapsodic contrasts, Dvořák claimed to write his eruptive Symphony No. 7 to "make a stir in the world." Join us and see for yourself how this combination of works showcases skill, power of the violin and orchestra.
The Paul Yergens and Virginia Yergens Rogers Foundation Masterworks Series showcases the best symphonic music, world-renowned guest artists, and the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra.
