Rising star Randall Goosby helps kick off the new century of the PSO, appearing in the opening concert of its 101st season.

Acclaimed for his “exquisite tone and sheer virtuosity” (The New York Times), Goosby has performed with notable orchestras across the country, including the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Boston Symphony Orchestra. Here he joins the PSO to perform Tchaikovsky’s only violin concerto—athletic and dramatic, full of passion, irresistible lyricism, and impressive turns.

As counterpoint to Tchaikovsky is Brahms’ triumphant First Symphony with rich harmonies and victorious finales.
