24in24: Concertos from the Inside – Rachel Barton Pine, Dvořák Violin Concerto [LIVE] (on-demand)
$20
Rachel Barton Pine, violin
Rachel Barton Pine, live from her home, offers a rare glimpse into her three-decade relationship with the Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 53, by the great Czech Romantic composer Antonín Dvořák. Learn about the history of the piece and the composer, and how Rachel crafts her interpretation. Take a peek at her sheet music and see how she prepares for a performance. Hear her thoughts about this concerto’s place in the repertoire and what makes it particularly fun to perform. She'll answer a viewer question or two and let you in on her backstage routine for the piece. Then, watch as she performs the solo violin part unaccompanied (just as she does for a conductor before the first rehearsal).
There will be a post-show Zoom call beginning 15 minutes after the livestream ends that is open to Package holders and to those who purchase additional access. The episode will be available for on-demand viewing after the livestream ends.
About the series: Each week for 24 weeks, join concert violinist Rachel Barton Pine live for "24 in 24: Concertos from the Inside with RBP" as she “pulls back the curtain” and offers the inside scoop from a soloist’s perspective on a different violin concerto from the standard repertoire. Over the course of the series, she’ll answer viewer questions and be visited by special musical guests.
Pine will intersperse stories and anecdotes, drawn from her 30+ years on the concert stage, with interesting facts and history about the piece and the composer and share how they influence her interpretations. She’ll reveal the most challenging spots and her tips and tricks for overcoming them, as well as her practice routine.
You’ll also join her in the “dressing room” to witness her backstage warm-up routine, just as she does before walking on stage, and then be treated to an unaccompanied performance of the entire concerto (exactly as she does before traveling to a concert appearance).
The series is geared toward career violinists, advanced students, violin teachers, and violin aficionados. Each episode will be streamed live and will last about an hour.
The livestream will take place at 1pm Mountain / 12pm Pacific.
