Israleli violin virtuoso Shlomo Mintz, who connects the lineage of Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, returns to play Prokofiev¡¯s Violin Concerto No. 2 with the KBS Symphony Orchestra. Mintz also plays Le boeuf sur le toit by the twentieth-century French composer Darius Milhaud, in which the rhythms and melodies of the Brazilian folk tunes, samba, and tango are reworked with Milhaud¡¯s characteristic humor, parody, and sudden bursts of dissonant melodies. Discover the world of violin repertoire by modernist masters with Mintz¡¯s seasoned performance. Ravel¡¯s Rapsodie espagnole and La Valse, which look to Spanish dances and reminisces nineteenth-century Austrian waltzes, will turn the stage into a musical banquet. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3 face=Verdana><STRONG>Violin / Shlomo Mintz</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>- Made a debut by performing with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra under Zubin Mehta at age 11. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>- Has performed with the Pittsburg Symphony Orchestra and St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, among others.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>- Garnered prestigious awards including the Premio Accademia Musicale Chigiana, the Diapason D¡¯Or, the Grand Prix du Disque, the Gramophone Award, and the Edison Award. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>- Served on the jury for the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow; the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition in Brussels; the International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition in Poznan, Poland, as President of the Jury; Sion Valais International Violin Competition in Switzerland as President of the Jury.<BR></FONT></DIV>
