STRINGS ATTACHED: ESSENTIAL VIOLIN CONCERTOS
The violin has been called the instrument that most closely resembles the human voice — capable of singing, crying, soaring, and dazzling with virtuosity. But what makes certain violin concertos stand out as timeless masterpieces? In this music appreciation evening, we’ll journey through ten of the greatest violin concertos ever written. From Beethoven’s noble and expansive Violin Concerto in D, to Tchaikovsky’s fiery and passionate Concerto in D Major, to Barber’s lushly lyrical American treasure — and many gems in between — we’ll discover how composers have used the violin to capture the full spectrum of human expression.

Everyone knows her voice. Everyone knows ¡Azúcar! But how much do you really know about Celia Cruz—the woman who left everything behind to follow her music? From the dance halls of 1950s Havana to the concert stages of New York and Mexico, Celia’s journey was marked by courage, exile, and an unstoppable joy. Join Music Storyteller Paco Ojeda for ¡AZÚCAR! The Life and Music of Celia Cruz — a vibrant, heart-pounding exploration of the Queen of Salsa, her struggles, and her triumphs.
