violinist Robert McDuffie. The concerto was commissioned by McDuffie, along with five organizations, including the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The results, premiered in 2009 with the Toronto Symphony
Orchestra, brought the house down and garnered rave reviews. This concert introduces two musical giants, separated only by time—Vivaldi and Glass—creating music which is hauntingly beautiful and magical.
