Carmel Symphony Orchestra under Artistic Director Janna Hymes will welcome young violinist Alexi Kenney to its Masterworks 2 performance on Nov. 12 at 730 pm at The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts, 1 Carter Green, Carmel.
Tickets start at just $30 for adults and $10 for children. They are on sale now at thecenterpresents.org/tickets, at the Palladium Fifth Third Bank box office or by calling (317) 843-3800.
The CSO also is honoring US military veterans and current active-duty military personnel with a 50 percent discount on tickets for this Veterans Weekend performance. No code is necessary – purchasers should plan on showing their official ID when tickets are picked up at the box office.
“Alexi Kenney is a young, California-born violinist who literally is in process of taking the musical world by storm!” Hymes said of the CSO’s upcoming guest.
“He solos with major orchestras throughout the US and abroad, plays recitals at places like Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and London’s Wigmore Hall, he regularly appears at festivals such as Ravinia, Music@Menlo and Chamber Music Northwest, and just last year he released his first recording – the Paul Wiancko X Suite for Solo Violin, a piece he commissioned and premiered in 2019.
“Alexi is also a member of a new quartet collective called the Owls,” she added, noting recent concerts in New York City and upcoming performances in Washington DC and New York. “He’s just a remarkable young man and young violinist, and we can’t wait to welcome him to the Palladium stage with the CSO.”
Among selections on the Masterworks 2 program are the Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1, Colas Breugnon Overture by Kabalevsky, and the glorious Pines of Rome, the tone poem for orchestra by Respighi, written as a tribute to various scenes in and around Italy’s beloved capital.
“It is going to be a lovely evening of beautiful music,” Hymes stated. “Coming on the heels of our rousing Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, Masterworks 2 is a fitting continuation of our 47th season, showcasing the wonderful musical talents of our orchestra members plus a brilliant young rising star in Alexi Kenney. We invite everyone to come and enjoy!”
The Carmel City Center area is home not only to the Palladium but to numerous restaurants open for dining before or after the evening’s performance. Abundant free parking is available in garages, nearby lots or curbside – all within easy walking distance of the Palladium.
