WEEKEND CONCERT SERIES

Leila Josefowicz with John Novacek, Piano

Sunday, March 19, 2023
1:30 pm
CALDERWOOD HALL

PROGRAM

Karol Szymanowksi Mythes, Op. 30 (1915)
Claude Debussy Sonata for violin and piano, L. 140 (1917)
Igor Stravinsky Divertimento (after The Fairy’s Kiss) (1934)
Erkki-Sven Tüür Conversio (1994)

The dazzling superstar violinist Leila Josefowicz comes to the Gardner Museum with what promises to be a thrilling recital. Her program comprises both the narcotic opulence of Szymanowski (his “retellings” of Greek myths) and Debussy’s ravishing last major work. These masterpieces are balanced by two keen-eared views on modernism–written by composers born 77 years and 250 miles apart on the Baltic.
