In need of a little winter pick-me-up? Violin virtuoso Gil Shaham's exquisite musicality and child-like personality brings you Walton's Violin Concerto, a story of love and triumph. It is said that the fast second movement was inspired by a tarantula bite and the feeling of venom running through his veins. The program finishes with Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, whose gorgeous and layered second movement has been quote extensively in popular music and movies.
