Pick-Staiger Concert Hall
Donald Schleicher, conductor; Jinjoo Cho, violin
Einojuhani Rautavaara’s mysterious In the Beginning weaves darkness and light throughout a lush, string-laden soundscape. Bienen faculty member Jinjoo Cho is the featured soloist in Edward Elgar’s notoriously difficult, yet profoundly entrancing Violin Concerto in B Minor, Op. 61. The concert concludes with selections from Sergei Prokofiev’s vibrant, Italian-inspired ballet Romeo and Juliet.
