This extraordinary event brings together past and present conductors, concertmasters … and patrons! Current concertmaster Gared Crawford takes the spotlight in Romance for Violin & Orchestra. And what's a family reunion without a little "friendly competition"? In a special performance of Vivaldi’s famous The Four Seasons, each season will feature a former concertmaster (after all, they’re seasoned professionals, no?). Former Conductor Stewart Kershaw will take the podium and reunite with Delmar Pettys, concertmaster during the “Kershaw years.” And what happens when you mix a bunch of violin show-offs with Flight of the Bumblebee? Hold on tight!
