​Eugène Ysaÿe Amitie, Poem for Two Violins and Orchestra, Op. 26 with violinists Marc Ramirez & Olivia Hajioff
Amy Beach Symphony No. 2, op. 32, E minor (Gaelic)

The Philharmonic is delighted to partner again with the acclaimed Marcolivia Duo to present virtuoso violinist Ysaÿe’s rarely performed Amitie (Friendship), a gorgeous reverie and a rhapsodic, evocative symphonic poem dedicated to a long-time friend of Ysaÿe’s. Beach’s Gaelic Symphony, based in part on four Irish folksongs, established her as the prominent female composer of the early 20th century. Full of romantic harmonies, the work is irresistibly charming, as it includes love songs, fiddle tunes, dance rhythms, and soaring melodies.
