Performance

Violin Concerto

7 upcoming performances in New York

Mendelssohn’s *Violin Concerto* (his final essay in the genre) helped set the modern template for the Romantic concerto, with the soloist entering early and the three movements bound into a single, continuous argument. It has since become a benchmark work for violinists, prized for its clear line and structural economy. At David Geffen Hall, the concerto sits in a program led by Domingo Hindoyan, alongside symphonic writing by Dvořák and Sibelius, with Karen Gomyo as soloist. Its staying power lies in how directly it speaks without overstatement.
