Itzhak Perlman plays Bach
Itzhak Perlman 0910
Itzhak Perlman, violin

Itzhak Perlman leads Tchaikovsky’s greatest symphony and Elgar’s magnificent, rarely heard Introduction and Allegro.

“From the very first note Mr. Perlman reminded the audience of his trademark sweet tone and melting vibrato.  His warm, telegenic presence and easy rapport with the audience seemed to be part of what people came for.”—The New York Times

Inside Music, an informative talk with Scott Foglesong free to ticketholders, begins one hour prior to concerts.

Off the Podium, an informal Q&A session with the artists, begins immediately after the Oct 17 performance.


Ticket exchange not available for Oct 18. Group discount not available.

The Oct 18 concert benefits the Orchestra’s Pension Fund.

These concerts are made possible by President's Tier donors to the Annual Fund.
