Hailed by The New York Times as a “rising artist” and lauded by The Strad magazine for his “stylish and polished playing,” Paul Huang will showcase his immense talent in a performance of Beethoven’s expansive and groundbreaking Violin Concerto in D. Also featured: Franz Schubert’s much-loved and majestic “Great” Symphony.

Recipient of the prestigious 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Mr. Huang is widely recognized for his intensely eloquent music-making, distinctive sound, and effortless virtuosity. Following his Kennedy Center debut, The Washington Post proclaimed him “an artist with the goods for a significant career.” In 2013, The New York Times applauded his “masterly account of Barber’s Violin Concerto” with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Alice Tully Hall. Mr. Huang’s appearances with locally based Camerata Pacifica have met with similar critical effusions, at one point prompting the Santa Barbara Independent to note his “commanding tone and confident diction.”

Program:

Beethoven       Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61

Schubert         Symphony in C major, D. 944, “The Great”
