Atlanta Symphony Orchestra; Jun Märkl, Conductor and Giora Schmidt, violin

Atlanta favorite Jun Märkl leads an evening of stunning French music packed with velvety-rich harmonies and exquisite orchestral craftsmanship. Opening the performance is Berlioz\u27 dramatic and brilliantly rousing Overture to Benvenuto Cellini followed by Henri Vieuxtemps\u27 Violin Concerto No. 5 featuring Giora Schmidt in his Atlanta Symphony debut. The program closes with Ravel\u27s Daphnis et Choloé, described by Beatles producer George Martin as a swelling of sound that is just breathtaking when placing the work at the top of his list of essentials on BBC\u27s Desert Island Discs.https://digitalcommons.kennesaw.edu/musicprograms/2110/thumbnail.jp
