Artistic Leaders David Danzmayr and Vadim Gluzman Reunite for ProMusica's Season Finale in May 

Music Director David Danzmayr and Creative Partner and violinist Vadim  Gluzman will reunite on stage together once again for ProMusica Chamber Orchestra's season  finale concerts at the Southern Theatre May 11-12 at 7 p.m. Vadim Gluzman Plays Tchaikovsky will feature Valentin Silvestrov's Hymne — 2001, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, and Brahms' Symphony No. 2., and will also mark the conclusion of Gluzman and Danzmayr's  celebration of 10 years with the orchestra.  

Gluzman joined ProMusica Chamber Orchestra in 2013 as Creative Partner and Principal Guest  Artist, leading one program and performing as soloist for another each season. Universally  recognized among today's top-performing artists, Gluzman breathes new life and passion into  the golden era of the 19th and 20th centuries' violin tradition. Gluzman's wide repertoire  embraces new music, and his performances are heard around the world through live broadcasts  and a striking catalogue of award-winning recordings exclusively for the BIS label.  

Opening the program will be Silvestrov's moving Hymne — 2001. Silvestrov is a living Ukrainian  composer who was forced to leave his home in recent years and Hymne — 2001 is known as  being a very deep, very human piece of music.  

Next, Gluzman will perform Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, one of the most celebrated works of  the violin repertoire. Gluzman will perform the piece on the legendary 1690 ‘ex-Leopold Auer'  Stradivari, which the concerto was originally composed for. The violin is on extended loan  through the Stradivari Society of Chicago and was formerly owned and played by Leopold Auer,  who Tchaikovsky had planned to deliver the work's premiere. 

To conclude the evening, Danzmayr will lead the orchestra for Brahms' Symphony No. 2,  ending the season with cheerful triumph and majestic glory. This will be the first time the  orchestra has performed Brahms' Second Symphony, which will showcase ProMusica's ability  to stretch beyond the typical classical and modern chamber music repertoire into the Romantic period.  

“It has been an incredible artistic journey with both David and Vadim for the past ten years,” said  Janet Chen, ProMusica's CEO. “ProMusica and Columbus are so lucky to have these two  musical visionaries creating amazing programs and taking artistic risks. To have them join  together to end this 45th season will be nothing short of spectacular—and we look forward to  what our future seasons hold.”
