Violinists Chee-Yun and Kit Zimmerman in Special FSO Concert, May 31 at GMU!

Maestro Zimmerman's 15th Anniversary season culminates in a heartfelt program that pays tribute to his debut concert as Music Director with the FSO in 2009, where Elgar and Shostakovich works were performed for the first time with the FSO. The evening opens with Elgar's vibrant "Introduction and Allegro for Strings," a masterful display of string virtuosity.

Next you will hear the East Coast Premiere of Leshnoff's "Concertante for Two Violins and Orchestra," featuring virtuoso violinist Chee-Yun, an FSO audience favorite, and Maestro Zimmerman's son, Kit Zimmerman, a distinguished member of the 1st violin section of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in Switzerland.

The program concludes with Shostakovich's powerful and magnificent Symphony No. 10!

Join us for this special tribute concert celebrating Maestro Zimmerman's remarkable leadership and vision.
