National Symphony Orchestra welcomes Finnish conductor John Storgards

Lucky is the violin soloist whose conductor also happens to be a virtuoso on the same instrument. Such is the case with renowned violinist, Gidon Kremer, who performs under the baton of John Storgards, one of Finland’s most successful artists. Both appear with the National Symphony Orchestra this week in a program that showcases the Sibelius Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47.

“I’m looking forward to it,” said Storgards, who is making his concert debut with the NSO. “I have a positive picture from what I’ve heard; and from [listening] to their recordings.”
