Making her debut with the TSO, Yura Lee solos on not one, but two instruments! In a rare turn, Lee will perform both the Walton Viola Concerto and Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending on violin on a program of contrasts.
While the Walton is lyrical and melancholic highlighting the viola’s darker qualities, the Vaughan Williams’ rapid melodic twists and turns mimic a skylark in flight. Two orchestra classics frame the program: Strauss’s Wagner-influenced tour-de-force Death and Transfiguration explores the journey from life to death and redemption; and Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is the perfect vehicle to showcase the extraordinary qualities of your TSO musicians. Individual event tickets go on sale August 1, 2025. This concert is available as part of a Classic Series or Create Your Own Subscription. This concert will be preceded by Concert Comments, a pre-concert talk, beginning one hour before each performance. Linda Ronstadt Music Hall has a clear bag policy. Read more about this venue The Lark Ascending has been voted Great Britain’s favorite piece of classical music. Strauss was not allowed to study Wagner until his early teens (his father restricted him to “the classics”). The viola concerto was originally written for Lionel Tertis. However, he rejected the “modernist excesses” of the work and the premiere was given by Paul Hindemith.Plan Your Visit
