JENNIFER KOH violin (pictured)
NEW JERSEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Violinist Jennifer Koh “combines a questing spirit with tonal refinement and a kind of fearless virtuosity” (San Jose Mercury News). She’s sure to shine under the baton of Xian Zhang in Sibelius’ lofty yet visceral concerto.
-
MOZART Così fan tutte Overture
Vivacious and sly, this overture completely embodies the opera’s effervescent spirit.
-
SIBELIUS Violin Concerto
Glistening, ominous, symphonic. Koh’s fiery technique serves her well in this concerto, which confounded violinists in Sibelius’ day.
-
SCHUBERT Symphony No. 9, “Great”
Schubert conjured a robust heir to Beethoven’s masterpiece with his splendid Ninth, written only a year after its predecessor.
