NSO: Leonidas Kavakos plays Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 | Noseda conducts Bruckner's Sixth Symphony

• Leonidas Kavakos, violin

Dmitri Shostakovich — Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 77 (Leonidas Kavakos, violin)
Anton Bruckner — Symphony No. 6 in A major, WAB 106

The haunting sound of Leonidas Kavakos' 1734 "Willemotte" Stradivarius will be on full display in Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto, a challenging showpiece raging with raw fury and dark humor. Don't miss the Greek virtuoso's much-anticipated return as Gianandrea Noseda conducts the sublime concerto along with Bruckner's striking Symphony No. 6
