Rising star violinist Randall Goosby makes his Philadelphia Orchestra subscription debut with Florence Price’s violin concertos, as the Orchestra continues its exploration of her tremendous talent, life, and works. The program opens with Ravel’s La Valse, described by the composer as a Viennese waltz “mingled with, in my mind, the impression of a fantastic, fatal whirling.” Concluding the program will be an orchestral suite from Strauss’s spectacular comedic opera Der Rosenkavalier, full of lavish melodies and lovely waltzes.
