The evening’s second half is dedicated to Lorin Maazel’s arrangement of Wagner’s “Ring,” which ingeniously transforms the opera into a cohesive symphonic poem.
The OSR and soloist Antoine Tamestit will perform Jörg Widmann’s Viola Concerto, a challenging piece that showcases the musician’s diverse skills.
