Flint Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven, Sibelius and Musgrave
The Flint Symphony Orchestra, led by Enrique Diemecke, plays Saturday, April 10, at 7:30 p.m. at Whiting Auditorium in Flint. Violinist Elissa Koljonen takes on Beethoven's Violin Concerto. Tickets start at $28.
The program opens with Thea Musgrave's Rainbow, moves to Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major, and closes with Sibelius's Symphony No. 1. The evening is built around the light and landscapes of the north.
Elissa Koljonen is one of the leading violinists of her generation. She was the first recipient of the Henryk Szeryng Foundation Award and a silver medalist at the Carl Flesch International Violin Competition. She has played with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic.
An Inside the Music pre-concert talk starts at 6:30 p.m. Students 13 and older can go backstage at intermission, meet musicians and get Enzo's pizza. No one under 5 is admitted, babies in arms included. Runtime is about 2.5 hours with intermission, and it's loud: a full orchestra with percussion. An ASL interpreter will be on hand; ask the ticket center or an usher about the ASL seating section. Discounts are available for 3+ show packages, groups of 10 or more, and veterans.
