Violin Concerto (Sibelius)

0 upcoming performances in New York

Jean Sibelius’s *Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47* stands as his sole work in the genre, first unveiled in 1904 and reshaped the following year into the version most often heard. Its scale is closer to a symphony with a violin at the center, with a long first-movement cadenza that functions like a structural argument rather than a display break. At David Geffen Hall, Domingo Hindoyan leads Karen Gomyo in a program that also includes Dvořák. The concerto’s lasting significance in New York is as a touchstone for 20th-century violin playing, regularly returning to the city’s major stages.
