Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra VISIONARIES: MARTÍN + BEETHOVEN Saturday, May 10, 2025, 7:30 pm (Alex Theatre) Sunday, May 11, 2025, 4 pm (The Wallis) LACO’s Orchestral series roars to a close with Beethoven’s towering Violin Concerto in D major commanded by Franco-Serbian violin sensation Nemanja Radulović in his much-anticipated LACO return with Martín on the podium. Radulović, who brought the house down in his U.S. debut with LACO in 2022, has been hailed for his “super virtuosity” (The Times of London), “commanding technique…beguiling tone, expressive vocal, phrasing and perfect intonation” (Gramophone). Martín also conducts the world premiere of a LACO Sound Investment commission by Dai Wei, aChinese-born composer who filters musical traditions through her experimental lens, inspired by her collaborations with local performers and musicians in Tibet and Yunnan province. Sound Investment is a groundbreaking program LACO established in 2001 that engages audience members in developing new classical works. Additionally, the program includes unsung composer Farrenc’s symphonic triumph, Symphony No. 3 in G minor, her second work presented on LACO’s 2024-25 season. VISIONARIES: MARTÍN + BEETHOVEN is made possible, in part, with the generous support from James Mulally. Additional support is provided by Cheryl K. Petersen + Roger H. Lustberg, Carol Eliel + Tom Muller, and Catherine Stone. Alex Theatre, 216 North Brand Boulevard, Glendale, CA 91203 Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, 9390 N.
