Scheherazade: M&T Bank Classics

JoAnn Falletta is on the podium for one of her personal favorite pieces: Scheherazade. Finnish violinist Elina Vähälä returns to Buffalo to perform Sibelius’ Violin Concerto.  A fifteen-minute symphony by Chinese-American composer Wang Jie, which she describes as “a journey from yearning and tempest to peace,” completes this dynamic program.

Come at 7:00 for your chance to hear directly from the artists in “Musically Speaking,” sponsored by Uniland Development.
