Westchester Philharmonic: The Art of the Violin

Eugene Drucker, soloist-leader

Bach: Violin Concerto in E Major
Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony
Bach: Violin Concerto in A Minor
Haydn: Violin Concerto in C Major

The founding first violinist of the legendary Emerson String Quartet leads the Phil. Three works of Bach and Haydn are by turns sublime, joyful, and enthralling. They surround a profound statement by Shostakovich on the horrors of war and the human cry against fascism.
