Dvořák’s Quintet in A Major 

The concert program:

• Maurice Ravel — Sonata for Violin and Piano: music that shimmers with color and atmosphere.
• George Gershwin — Three Preludes (violin arrangement by Jascha Heifetz): brings jazz into the concert hall; heard here in a dazzling violin arrangement by Jascha Heifetz, one of the most celebrated violinists of the 20th century.
