The
FSO tops off the 51st season with violinist
Elmar Oliveira, the only American violinist
ever to win a gold medal at the famed Tchaikovsky
International Competition in Moscow. Having
appeared recently with the Detroit Symphony,
Rochester Philharmonic, Seattle Symphony,
and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center,
Mr. Oliveira commands a repertoire ranging
from Bach and Barber through Mendelssohn,
Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, and Giannini.
With the FSO he will perform Max Bruch's
much-loved Scottish Fantasy , a melodic gem
based on folksongs and featuring a prominent
role for harp as well. |
