In the center, Tchaikovsky’s glorious yet fiendish Violin Concerto, performed by Paul Huang, with “unfailing, attractive, golden, and resonant tone” (The Strad). First, the Omaha premiere of Estevez’s Mediodia en la Llano, a poignant overture from Venezuela. Sibelius’s sweeping Symphony No. 1 closes the program in triumph, a heart-stirring adventure for the entire orchestra.
