From Salzburg and Guadeloupe
2021-04-16 19:00 - 20:30 | Dominion Energy Center, 600 E Grace St, Richmond, VA, 23219, United States
Rennolds Memorial Concert
For some decades, Europe had two composers of unsurpassed talent: Mozart from Salzburg (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) and Boulogne from Guadeloupe (Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges). They were both super-stars in their lifetimes and their elegant music was played at the top theatres and palaces in Paris and London. While the name of Mozart has survived through time, Joseph Boulogne, the first known classical composer of African ancestry, a virtuoso violinist, a conductor of the leading symphony orchestra in Paris, and a renowned champion fencer, disappeared. This concert will give them both a voice. Led by our Associate Conductor Chia-Hsuan Lin, this concert will feature violinist Kevin Zhu, winner of the 2018 Paganini Competition and 2012 Menuhin Competition.
Join us for a safe, socially-distanced in-person concert. The Friday night concert will be presented without an intermission, and will therefore be slightly shorter than Saturday and Sunday performances.
Both In-Person and Watch from Home attendees can enjoy the concert online through June 1.

From Salzburg and Guadeloupe
2021-04-18 15:00 - 17:00 | Dominion Energy Center, 600 E Grace St, Richmond, VA, 23219, United States
Rennolds Memorial Concert
For some decades, Europe had two composers of unsurpassed talent: Mozart from Salzburg (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) and Boulogne from Guadeloupe (Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges). They were both super-stars in their lifetimes and their elegant music was played at the top theatres and palaces in Paris and London. While the name of Mozart has survived through time, Joseph Boulogne, the first known classical composer of African ancestry, a virtuoso violinist, a conductor of the leading symphony orchestra in Paris, and a renowned champion fencer, disappeared. This concert will give them both a voice. Led by our Associate Conductor Chia-Hsuan Lin, this concert will feature violinist Kevin Zhu, winner of the 2018 Paganini Competition and 2012 Menuhin Competition.
Join us for a safe, socially-distanced in-person concert.
Both In-Person and Watch from Home attendees can enjoy the concert online through June 1.
