Tahoe Symphony Presents: E.P.I.C. – Elizabeth Pitcairn in Concert
February 13 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Guest Conductor Dr. Phoenix Delgado leads the Tahoe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in an elegant evening of romantic and expressive music, featuring acclaimed violin virtuoso Elizabeth Pitcairn.
The program opens with Mozart’s electrifying Overture to Don Giovanni, followed by Brahms’ beloved Liebeslieder Waltzes, celebrating love and human connection. Fauré’s graceful Pavane adds refined beauty, while Verdi’s joyful Brindisi from La traviata brings operatic sparkle. The first half also includes Jennifer Lucy Cook’s contemporary work For You I Will Be An Island, offering a moving modern contrast.
After intermission, the spotlight turns to Elizabeth Pitcairn performing Dvořák’s Violin Concerto in A Minor on the legendary Red Mendelssohn Stradivarius violin from 1720, an instrument famously associated with the film The Red Violin. Pitcairn’s virtuosity, expressive depth, and commanding stage presence promise a powerful and unforgettable performance, with possible surprise encores.
Elizabeth Pitcairn has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and with leading orchestras around the world. She tours regularly with the Tahoe Symphony throughout Europe and North America.
Dr. Phoenix Delgado brings a bold artistic vision shaped by decades of experience as a conductor, flautist, vocalist, and arts leader. His career includes collaborations with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Grammy-winning artists, along with a strong commitment to community engagement.
The Tahoe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus continues its mission to present high-quality, affordable classical music in the Reno-Tahoe region, now celebrating its 21st season.
