Leila Josefowicz

An invaluable advocate for living composers, Leila Josefowicz has premiered dozens of new works for violin, including concertos written expressly for her by John Adams, Esa Pekka-Salonen, and many others. Josefowicz’ program illuminates the path to contemporary music that travels through expressionism.

Works by Debussy and Szymanowski transport us to a lush, harmonic fantasy world, while those by Tüür and Stravinsky continue our journey into a more visceral realm that delights us with unexpected humor, excitement, and passion.
