Fairfax Symphony
Guest cellist Amit Peled gave a dramatic and riveting performance of French composer Sait-Saens' Cello Concerto No. 1, widely considered to be one of the best cello concertos of all time. The beauty of the piece allows the solo instrument to hit all registers, highlighting it even amidst an entire orchestra. As such, Peled commanded a strong musical presence with great energy and expressiveness on his cello.
This is Peled's fourth collaboration with the FSO. "Playing with the Fairfax Symphony has always been special... it truly felt like coming home. Moreover, the ability to create live music with my friends and colleagues in such difficult times in our world was truly meaningful," remarked the cellist. "The new Capital One Hall is a magnificent cultural center addition to the D.C. area. A beauty and an artistic wonder, it will surely be a home for many magical, musical moments," said Peled.
With fanfare, the Symphony closed its debut with Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, esteemed by the composer himself as "one of his best works." The famous second movement, Allegretto, has often been used in pop culture during climactic moments -- including Hollywood films "The King's Speech" and "X-Men: Apocalypse."
"This is the very first concert by a Fairfax County Arts Organization (ArtsFairfax) and the FSO is honored to be the first one to debut there,” said Jonathan Kerr, executive director of the Fairfax Symphony Orchestra.
As for the future, the FSO is optimistic in returning to perform at the newly opened concert hall, said Kerr. "Certainly as we are slowly coming out of the pandemic with concerts reopening and having an opportunity to do that… we have fewer events this year, but we hope for next year as things continue to improve, that we’ll have many more."

Violins of Hope | Leshnoff Symphony No. 4
On May 14, we are honored to present the regional premiere of an important work by composer, Jonathan Leshnoff. His Symphony No. 4, "Heichalos" was originally composed and premiered for The Violins of Hope--instruments played by the Jewish people during the Holocaust.
According to Tim Smith of The Baltimore Sun, "Leshnoff's music can be boldly dissonant or hauntingly lyrical, wildly animated or intriguingly contemplative.”
Leshnoff says of his Symphony No. 4, inspired by "Heichalos Rabbasai"-- an ancient Jewish mystical text written approx. 2000 years ago. In his work, he has been exploring how to make "the transitions from music to enter into the spiritual realms." "I want the musicians to meditate on that phrase and who they love."

We performed the national anthem of Ukraine at our concert on March 12. Thank you to all who were with us.
‘Shche ne vmerla Ukrainas’ has just one verse and one chorus, though it is one of the world’s mightiest patriotic songs.
It was formally adopted less than three decades ago, following the country’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
While formally known as the ‘State Anthem of Ukraine’, it also goes by its native title ‘Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy’, which translates into English as ‘Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished’.
