Music Director Jader Bignamini leads the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Wynton Marsalis's Violin Concerto and Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony no. 9.
Classical IPR will broadcast the concert live on Friday, October 17 at 10:40 a.m.
From the DSO: "This pair of works takes classical music to the heights of celebration and mirth. Giuseppe Gibboni performs Wynton Marsalis’s exuberant Violin Concerto, rooted in the blues with thrilling high-wire feats for the soloist. Shostakovich’s Ninth is one of the composer’s most jovial symphonies, a defiant laugh in the face of Soviet oppression."
About Giuseppe Gibboni: "Gibboni recorded his debut CD at the age of 15 for the Warner Classics label. Since 2017, he has been sponsored by the New York SI-YO Foundation. He plays on an Antonio Stradivari, Cremona 1699, ‘Auer, Benvenuti’ violin. As winner of the Paganini Competition, he also had the opportunity to perform on the 'Cannone,' Niccolò Paganini's favorite instrument built by Guarneri del Gesù in 1743."
