Saint-Saëns

Violin Concerto No. 3 in B minor, Op. 61

interval

Tchaikovsky

Manfred Symphony, Op. 58

Spanish conductor Jaime Martín, whose “infectious enjoyment of the music,” according to The Telegraph, “communicates to the orchestra and audience alike,” will return to helm the BFO through Saint-Saëns’s most popular violin concerto and what Tchaikovsky considered to be his own finest symphonic work. This concert merits an earworm alert, as both composers are famous for their catchy melodies, passionate phrases and emphasis on emotion over formal conventions. Performing the violin concerto that Saint-Saëns composed for Pablo de Sarasate will be the Japanese virtuoso Akiko Suwanai: the youngest artist ever to win the International Tchaikovsky Competition, she last took the stage alongside the BFO in 2022, when she played Tchaikovsky’s own violin concerto.
