Description

Violin, Piano — Bendix-Balgley is a major young talent, currently serving as first concertmaster in the Berlin Philharmonic. Klezmer music was a background for his childhood and has been an influence in his life ever since. Upon writing his very own Klezmer Concerto, Bendix-Balgley was delighted to have the master of orchestration, Samuel Adler, produce performance versions for both full orchestra and a fully-realized piano reduction. Formerly concertmaster with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Bendix-Balgley performed the premiere of this PSO-commissioned work in June, 2016 with the PSO, Maestro Manfred Honeck conducting. Adler's piano reduction of the work is now available.
