Korngold’s Violin Concerto contains everything audiences love about violin concertos, in spades: shimmering beauty, finger-flying fireworks, and melodies that soar to the stratosphere as only a violin can. Journey into a world of boundless innovation and imagination as the Houston Symphony gives the world premiere of Al-Jazari’s Ingenious Clocks, inspired by the fantastical inventions of 12th century Islamic polymath Ismail al-Jazari. Prokofiev’s Cinderella whisks us through a world of fairy tale magic, leading up to the stroke of midnight.
The concert will feature conductor Juraj Valčuha and violinist Simone Lamsma.
