About this Concert

Experience stunning performances and sensational stories featuring remarkable women. Anna Sułkowska-Migoń—known in the orchestra world for her sensibility to nuance and detail—opens her SLSO debut with a dynamic overture by fellow Polish musician, Grażyna Bacewicz. Leila Josefowicz displays her formidable talent in Berg’s soul-searching Violin Concerto, written in remembrance of a lost friend. And the orchestra conjures the magic of Scheherazade’s 1,001 tales in Rimsky-Korsakov’s beloved interpretation of the centuries-old Middle Eastern legend.
