The Emily and Eugene Grant Opening Series

Jaime Laredo, conducting
Bella Hristova, violin

Weber: Oberon Overture
David Ludwig: Violin Concerto (Premiere)
Brahms: Symphony No. 4

Soon after her unforgettable Tchaikovsky with the Phil in 2014, Bella Hristova and composer David Ludwig were married (with Jaime Laredo presiding!), so we commissioned David to write a concerto for his new bride. Ludwig’s prior commissions include Carnegie Hall, Philadelphia Orchestra, eighth blackbird, Ravinia, and many more. Book-ending this “romantic” new work are two Romantic period giants, Weber and Brahms, whose fourth and final symphony is regarded as his crowning achievement.
