The Decade of The Great Patriotic War featuring Elena Urioste, violin
03/05/2011 20:00, Mandel Hall
Elena Urioste, one of the most
sought-after young violinists in the country, will join the University of
Chicago Symphony Orchestra on its upcoming program in partnership with The
Soviet Arts Experience, "The Decade of The Great Patriotic War," for one night
only: Saturday, March 5 at 8 p.m.
in Mandel Hall. Urioste, who will
perform Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, replaces Hahn-Bin, who
canceled his performance due to tendonitis. Myaskovsky's Symphony No. 22 in B minor, "Symphonic Ballad", opens
the program. This concert
concludes a weeklong residency during which Urioste will engage with the campus
and surrounding community in outreach endeavors.
Urioste made her Chicago debut with
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in April 2010 with a performance of Vaughan
Williams' The Lark Ascending, which
earned her praise from John von Rhein, Chicago
Tribute, ("The gifted young violinist, Elena
Urioste, in her Chicago Symphony Orchestra debut, charmed the audience with her
lyrical sensitivity."), Andrew Patner, Chicago
Sun-Times, ("If
anyone has played solo pianissimos at Orchestra Hall with the hypnotic delicacy
that Urioste offered, I must have been away. Let's hear her again soon."), and
Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical
Review, ("From
the hushed rustle of her opening bars, the 23-year old violinist played with
inward delicacy and expressive poise, her communicative performance aided by
the sweet, penetrating sound of the $18 million "Vieuxtemps" Guarneri, on loan
from the Stradivari Society for these concerts.").
Elena Urioste, featured on the
cover of Symphony magazine as an
emerging artist to watch, has been hailed by critics and audiences alike for
her lush tone, the nuanced lyricism of her playing, and her commanding stage
presence. Since first appearing
with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age thirteen, she has made acclaimed debuts
with major orchestras throughout the United States, including the Cleveland
Orchestra, the Boston Pops, the Buffalo Philharmonic, and the Atlanta,
Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Richmond, San Antonio, and Sarasota symphony
orchestras. In Europe, she has
appeared with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Hungary's Orchestra
Dohnányi Budafok. Urioste is a
graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with Joseph
Silverstein, Pamela Frank, and Ida Kavafian. She completed graduate studies with Joel Smirnoff at The
Juilliard School.
Admission to "The Decade of The
Great Patriotic War" will be collected at the door ($10 adults/$5 students and
children under 12). For more

is located at 1131 E. 57th Street in Hyde Park, Chicago.
Elena Urioste's appearance with the
University Symphony Orchestra is sponsored in part by the Center for the Study
of Race, Politics, and Culture at the University of Chicago.
The 100-member University Symphony
Orchestra presents an ambitious season of six major concerts per year. The
Department of Music's thirteen performance program ensembles present over a
hundred stimulating and varied concerts each year.
