American-Canadian violinist Leila Josefowicz is known for promoting new works including John Adams’ concerto Scheherazade 2, written for her and performed by her last year with the Cleveland Orchestra.
She’s back to perform another contemporary piece, 45-year-old British composer Thomas Adès’ 2005 violin concerto Concentric Paths, at this week’s series of concerts at Severance Hall.
The programs, conducted by Cleveland Orchestra music director Franz Welser-Möst, will also include orchestral selections from Richard Wagner’s Götterdämmerung, including Dawn and Siegfried’s Rhine Journey, Siegfried’s Death and Funeral Music, and Brünnhilde’s Immolation. The Thursday and Saturday evening concerts will open with Anthony Cheung’s 2013 composition Lyra. Tickets are $29-$162
