Ukrainian-born Israeli violinist Vadim Gluzman performs on the very same 1690 ‘ex-Leopold Auer’ Stradivarius for which the Tchaikovsky concerto was composed. Mendelssohn’s symphonic recollections of Scotland fill the concert hall with splashes of local color and long lost folk melodies while composer Michael Hersch reflects on sketches by artist Kevin Tuttle as he processes the impacts of physical illness and mortality.
