John Coriglioano: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra: The Red Violin

The concerto intricately weaves the narrative of a magnificent yet haunted violin, tracing its journey through three centuries. Inspired by music from the Academy Award-winning film "The Red Violin," it reflects the emotional depth and historical significance of the instrument. Composed in memory of the author's father, who was the concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic, this 36-minute piece showcases Corigliano's profound connection to both personal and musical heritage.
