Internationally acclaimed violinist Francisco Fullana returns to the
Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia as violinist and leader for a program of
mystery and intrigue. Currently serving as Artistic Advisor, Fullana has
become a defining artistic presence for the Orchestra and a favorite with
Philadelphia audiences. Tartini’s Devil’s Trill brings virtuosity and legend
together in one of the most celebrated works in the violin repertoire.
Schubert’s Death and the Maiden for string orchestra adds drama and
intensity, while Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings closes the program
with music of deep expression and reflection.
