Lisa Batiashvili

Violin

A bravura showcase for the Orchestra and soloist! Violinist Lisa Batiashvili thrills audiences with her magnificent (The Scotsman) gifts, the perfect skill set for the Sibelius Violin Concerto, seething with tensions and dark energy.  

A must for your classical music bucket list, Sibelius Violin Concerto is electrifying, hauntingly beautiful, and a deeply enriching experience. Hear this masterwork performed by a thrilling violinist, praised for her especially impressive … tonal range, a silver thread one minute and a robust contralto the next (The Boston Musical Intelligencer).

Just as Sibeliuss Concerto is a showcase for the violinist, Jennifer Higdons scintillating Concerto for Orchestracommissioned and premiered by The Philadelphia Orchestra in 2002—gives each section of the ensemble its moment to shine, delivering wave after wave of intoxicating color (The Philadelphia Inquirer). This brilliantly hued program ends in irresistible romance, as Tchaikovskys Francesca da Rimini immortalizes a mythical beauty, and a passion-filled love triangle that ends in damnation.
