NSO: Noseda conducts Stravinsky's 'Petrushka' | Leonidas Kavakos plays Shostakovich

• Leonidas Kavakos, violin
• Gianandrea Noseda, conductor

Critics call Leonidas Kavakos' interpretations of Shostakovich "utterly compelling." Witness the magic live as the superstar Greek violinist returns to perform Shostakovich's explosive Violin Concerto No. 2, one of the composer's most complex and unpredictable pieces. To close, Stravinsky's striking ballet score Petrushka dazzles with vivid colors, irresistible rhythms, incandescent brass and winds… a rich bouquet of assorted, ear-rousing moments!

Runs Mar. 13-15.
