Our season-opening concert will feature the Russian-born, Brooklyn-based violinist, Misha Keylin, performing SIBELIUS Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47.

Internationally recognized Misha Keylin has earned critical and popular acclaim since his New York Carnegie Hall début at age 11. Mr. Keylin is attracting particular attention with his world-premiere complete CD series of the seven Henry Vieuxtemps violin concertos, released by Naxos. His recordings have already sold over 120,000 copies worldwide and garnered numerous press accolades and awards such as “Critic’s Choice” by The New York Times, Gramophone and The Strad.
