Rossen's 60th Birthday Celebration
We celebrate Edward T. Cone Music Director Rossen Milanov’s milestone sixtieth birthday with one of his most valued collaborators and some of his favorite works. Leila Josefowicz returns to the PSO with Stravinsky’s brilliant neoclassical Violin Concerto. Tchaikovsky’s monumental symphony Manfred, a rarely-heard masterpiece, utilizes the forces of an expanded orchestra.
“Josefowicz, who played with stunning brilliance, (…) her high-voltage presence being as striking as dance.” –Mark Swed, LA Times
Due to the length and type of performance, this concert is not suitable for children under the age of 5.
