Sarah Kwak and Vali Phillips, violins
Peter Shannon, conductor
by Berlioz. Amitié (Friendship) by
French composer Eugene Ysaye is a
lesser known piece, though through
no fault of its own – it is truly a
forgotten gem. Concertmaster Sarah
Kwak and her husband Vali Phillips
from the Oregon Symphony perform
these works for two solo violins and orchestra. The “meat” of
the evening is undoubtedly Beethoven’s heroic Fifth Symphony,
arguably the best known of all classical music. Join us for an
exciting evening of contrasts: forgotten elegance and an iconic
pillar of the symphonic repertoire.

BEETHOVEN: Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, “Emperor”
RIMSKY-KORSAKOV: Scheherazade, Op. 35
Life and Love, opens this brilliant

virtuosity followed by the pianistic
showmanship of Beethoven’s heroic
“Emperor” concerto. The concert
closes with Scheherazade, one of
Rimsky-Korsakov’s most dramatically
compelling and radiant works, again putting the virtuosity of
the orchestra and its soloists at center stage.
