Itzhak Perlman

On Tuesday I am seeing Itzhak Perlman In concert in Sarasota Florida. they list the music pieces he will be doing. I believe one of them is Beethoven, but it also list a surprise announcement that will be announced at the show, could the surprise be that John Williams will be a guest conductor? Is John Williams going to be In Florida on Tuesday?

 

I have no idea where JW is going, just wanted to ask what Beethoven piece Perlman will be playing? IIRC Beethoven only wrote one violin concerto, and it's one of my favorites in that genre.

 

this is a run down of the nights show,
February 7 8:00PM
Undeniably the reigning violin virtuoso with four Emmy Awards® and 15 Grammy Awards®, Itzhak Perlman enjoys superstar status rarely afforded a classical musician. Beloved for his charm, humanity and talent, he is treasured by audiences throughout the world. One of Mr. Perlman’s proudest achievements is his collaboration with film composer John Williams in Steven Spielberg’s Academy Award®-winning film, Schindler’s List, in which he performed the violin solos.

ADDITIONAL WORKS TO BE ANNOUNCED FROM THE STAGE

 

Izhak Perlman and John Williams worked together on Schindler's List. Perhaps they play a few tracks from that?

 

you were correct he played the theme from Schindlers list but no Johnny, the show was great I really enjoyed it!

 

Vivaldi, Beethoven, Schumann, and Stravinsky, performed by Perlman and de Silva, yes, that would be a great show. I'm not familiar with Dushkin, but he must be good to be included in that company.

 

I saw John Williams conduct that with a wonderful Asian woman on violin. Then last year, the Oregon Symphony played both the Main Theme from Schindler's List and the Remembrances theme as well, using the Oregon concertmaster as the soloist. That was also excellent.

 

I thought the Stravinsky Piece he did sounded kind of like Aaron Copeland!

 

Was Stravinsky still composing when Copeland was? They couldn't have been far apart chronologically. I wonder if they ever met.
