OVERVIEW
Concertmaster Madeline Adkins takes center stage for John Adams’ Violin Concerto, a pulse-pounding fusion of rhythmic vitality and expressive harmonies. An audience favorite for a reason, Adkins’ virtuosity and magnetic stage presence make her the perfect match for this electrifying showcase.
Christopher Rouse’s Rapture lifts the evening with an ecstatic crescendo of soaring intensity. Elliott Carter’s Holiday Overture follows, bursting with post-World War II optimism and the triumphant spirit of 1945. Finally, Roy Harris’ Symphony No. 3 closes the program with a sweeping portrait of the American landscape, moving from struggle to ascending beauty in a display of grandeur and depth.
