Georgia’s award-winning violinist Lisa Batiashvili will join the acclaimed Orpheus Chamber Orchestra for a show at New York’s famed Carnegie Hall venue later this month.
The concert will mark the first collaboration between Batiashvili and the Grammy Award-winning group promoted as "one of the world’s foremost chamber orchestras”.
They will team up to showcase works by Franz Schubert and Sergei Prokofiev, two of the most prolific composers of the 19th and 20th centuries.
See Orpheus Chamber Orchestra’s Melissa Meell and Miho Saegusa preview the concert with Lisa Batiashvili below:
Schubert faced constant rejection, yet his attempt to break into the world of theatre music with Rosamunde contains moments of sheer bliss.”
Prokofiev endured political and artistic exile, yet his second violin concerto is bursting with elegance. Still, each persisted in creating music of uncompromising beauty and honesty”, said a preview for the Carnegie Hall event.
The concert will mark the Orpheus orchestra’s first performance of Schubert’s "Unfinished” Symphony No. 8.
Along with the work, the show’s program will include Act III from Rosamunde by the Austrian composer, while the Prokofiev repertoire will feature Schubert Waltzes and Violin Concerto No. 2.
