Minnesota OrchestraOsmo Vänskä, conductorJennifer Frautschi, violin Ginastera Estancia 12' Stephenson Violin Concerto [World Premiere] Beethoven Symphony No. 6, Pastoral 40' Here's your only chance this season to experience the thrill of a Beethoven symphony at the hands of Osmo Vänskä! Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony takes you through rolling fields and woods, into and out of a drenching thunderstorm-all from the comfort of your Orchestra Hall seat. Ginastera's Estancia brings splashes of the Argentinian sun and the whisper of pampas grass. Another treat: violinist Jennifer Frautschi unveils a work by James Stephenson, a Chicago composer acclaimed for music that is "unabashedly beautiful," "fresh" and "energizing."
