Presented by Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft

Dramatic

For its debut in the Wiener Konzerthaus, the Houston Symphony Orchestra will perform with the American star violinist Hilary Hahn as soloist. At the start of her career some 20 years ago, she chose a piece by Leonard Bernstein — his Serenade after Plato's Symposium — to perform alongside Beethoven's Violin Concerto on her first orchestral album. In this piece, the composer explores in musical form a series of speeches in praise of Eros by some of Greece’s greatest philosophers. It is a virtuoso piece which is both tender and passionate and Hilary Hahn – who was one of the featured artists at the Wiener Konzerthaus in the 2015/16 season – is performing it this year to mark the 100th anniversary of Bernstein's birth. This violinistic jewel will be played between Antonín Dvořák's dramatic symphonic poem, The Noon Witch and his Seventh Symphony.
