The Orchestra Now — the visionary orchestra and master’s degree program founded by Bard College president, conductor, educator, and music historian Leon Botstein — spotlights four European virtuoso violinists who were also major composers in their respective countries yet are not household names elsewhere today.

Prolific Polish composer Grazyna Bacewicz, who was also a violinist, pianist, and accomplished author, is represented with her contemplative "Partita for Orchestra." Internationally acclaimed violinist Nikita Boriso-Glebsky joins TON for Hungarian composer Joseph Joachim’s "Variations for Violin and Orchestra." Then Boriso-Glebsky and the orchestra give the world premiere of a recently discovered concerto by famed Belgian violinist and composer Eugene Ysaye. The program concludes with the energetic and passionate Second Symphony of Romanian composer George Enescu, written at a time when he was also one of the most in-demand concert violinists in the world.

Performances are set for May 4 at 7 p.m. and May 5 at 2 p.m. at the Fisher Center at Bard.
