Violinist Frédéric Moreau performs Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto at DSU
The Dixie State Symphony Orchestra will perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto with French violinist Frédéric Moreau Feb. 24 at 7:30. The performance will take place at the Cox Performing Arts Center. The concert will also include a performance of Dvorak’s “Carnival Overture,” Grieg’s “From Holberg’s Time,” and Stravinsky’s suite from “The Firebird.”
Before the concert, Moreau will host a master class Feb. 23 at 5:30 p.m. in the concert hall of the Eccles Center. The event is free and open to the public.
“Many students in the orchestra are pursuing music degrees with goals to establish careers in the music world,” said Dr. Paul Abegg, who directs the symphony orchestra. “Guests such as Mr. Moreau provide a chance for them to interact with and see up close what it is like to work as a professional musician.”
Moreau, who regularly tours in 17 countries, started his solo career at the age of 18 and studied violin with Jean Fournier, Michele Auclair, Regis Pasquier, and Tibor Varga. He has won numerous international competitions and recorded Beethoven and Rachmaninov. Moreau is a member of the Perpetuo Duo, Solstice Trio, and Goldoni Quartet.
Tickets are $5 and are available at dsutix.com or by calling the DSU box office at (435) 652-7800.
