Seventy years after the establishment of the State of Israel, New World Symphony Artistic Director Michael Tilson Thomas (MTT) leads a celebratory one-night-only event honoring the Jewish heritage of Mahler and Mendelssohn, contemporary pioneer Avner Dorman, and that of his own family, The Thomashefskys.
In a special treat, the evening starts with a circus-like overture from The Thomashefskys, MTT’s homage to his grandparents and Yiddish Theater royalty, Boris and Bessie. Named after a popular Israeli dish, Avner Dorman’s ode to Jerusalem reflects a bustling and deeply religious city in a quintet for winds and piano.
Regarded by many as the finest concerto written for any instrument, Felix Mendelssohn’s romantic Violin Concerto is a masterpiece, sure to be a showstopper in the hands of award-winning Israeli violinist Itamar Zorman.
Mahler’s symphonies are one of MTT’s specialties – he has won six of his twelve GRAMMY® Awards for his interpretations of these symphonic works – and he led a performance of the First Symphony in Tel Aviv during NWS’s 1995 tour. They revisit the Titan’s first movement in what is MTT’s only Mahler offering this season—don’t miss it!
