Asheville Symphony Presents Masterworks 5: Violin Virtuosi

Join the Asheville Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Darko Butorac for Masterworks 5: Violin Virtuosi. Saturday, March 16, 2024. Performances at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Asheville. Noah Bendix-Balgley and Shanshan Yao headline this all-violin, all-concerto program as a husband and wife duo. An iconic Chinese work for violin and orchestra, Butterfly Lovers kicks off the program with virtuosic and intertwining melodies. The delicate dance between the two violins continues with Bach’s Double Violin Concerto. Finally, Bendix-Balgley takes on the grand finale: Brahms’s one and only violin concerto, famed for its technically demanding passages and stunning lyricism.
