This year’s Orchestral Masterworks concert features Giuseppe Verdi’s dramatic exploration of fate, the Overture to La forza del destino (1862). Violinist Jaewon Wee will perform Polish virtuoso Henri Wieniawski’s dazzling Romantic showpiece, his Violin Concerto No. 2 (1862), and the orchestra will present Charles Ives’s Symphony No. 2 (1897-1902), which reshapes both American popular and European classical melodies into a collage of brilliant sounds.
