Keefe, Shostakovich and Ravel

The position of concertmaster demands numerous non-musical skills: leadership, diplomacy, and confidence are just three examples that come to mind. For 16 years, Erin Keefe has shown all these qualities. Hearing her take on the challenges of Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto will remind you that she is also an extraordinary soloist. Then, prepare yourself to yield to one of the most brilliant portrayals of dawn ever composed in Ravel’s ballet Daphnis and Chloé.
