A sweeping tribute to Vienna and the rich tradition of the waltz, this program shimmers with color and breathtaking virtuosity, offering a brilliant start to the new year. Strauss's "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" weaves through a glimmering path, evoking Vienna's famous river. Chausson's fiery yet lavish Poème and Ravel's dazzling Tzigane showcase Concertmaster Calin Ovidiu Lupanu, while Liszt's Mephisto Waltz whirls from darkness to wild exhilaration. Finally, the Suite from Der Rosenkavalier brings the concert to a joyful close.
