BRSO's Iltcheva Makes Sibelius Sing

As part of its ongoing Masterworks V series sponsored by Investar Bank, the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra welcomes its own concertmaster, Borislava Iltcheva, to the stage to perform Sibelius's thrilling Violin Concerto, op. 47 in D Minor. Long a favorite for its brooding drama, expansive musical scenes, and breathtaking beauty, Sibelius's only concerto was completed in 1904 and had its premiere in Helsinki. Also on the program are Mozart's Overture to The Magic Flute and the Enigma Variations by Elgar. Doors open at 6 pm, with "Conversations with Maestro Muffitt" beginning at 6:30 pm at the River Center Theatre for Performing Arts, 240 River Road. The concert starts at 7:30 pm. Tickets begin at $39. (225) 383-0500 or brso.org.
