USC Symphony Orchestra: All-Beethoven Concert
with Guest Artist Vadim Gluzman, violin

Virtuoso violinist Vadim Gluzman’s performances are heard around the world through live broadcasts and award-winning recordings.

He plays the extraordinary 1690 Stradivarius violin, once belonging to Leopold Auer, teacher of the legendary Jascha Heifetz. The instrument is on extended loan to him through the generosity of the Stradivari Society of Chicago.He joins the USC Symphony Orchestra on Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D Major, op. 61 at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 23. The all-Beethoven program at the Koger Center for the Arts also includes Overture to Prometheus and Symphony No. 7 in A Major, op. 92.
