The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra

Andreas Delfs, Conductor
Juliana Athayde, Violin
Thomas Warfield, Narrator

Program for the Afternoon

Britten: Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, Op. 34
Prokofiev: Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 63
Liebermann: Frankenstein Waltzes
Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf

It’s always extra-special when the RPO’s beloved concertmaster, Juliana Athayde, performs as soloist. Hear her virtuosity in Prokofiev’s tender Second Violin Concerto. Also, diabolic dances from Lowell Liebermann’s ballet Frankenstein. Plus, two works for children of all ages: Benjamin Britten introduced generations of listeners to classical music with his Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, spotlighting each section before bringing them together in a shimmering climax. And Thomas Warfield, RIT’s Director of Dance, enchants with his telling of Peter and the Wolf.

Over the course of his 35-year career, Andreas Delfs has earned a stellar reputation as one of the most respected conductors in the orchestra world. He is widely recognized as both a successful, hands-on orchestra builder and as an imaginative and inspiring music director. His passionate and dramatic interpretations of the late romantic repertoire with orchestras in both North America and Europe have drawn critical acclaim, reflecting a constantly evolving artistic maturity marked by the insight, depth and integrity he brings to the podium.
