Jeremy Rothman

Vice President for Artistic Planning Jeremy Rothman says Perlman will be pulling double duty in this program.

"This is a unique presentation that audiences will get a chance to see him conduct and perform with the orchestra," Rothman explains.

He will perform Beethoven's Two Romances for violin and orchestra as a soloist, "but also he's going to be conducting Dvorak's Serenade for Strings, and this features the great string sound of The Philadelphia Orchestra. The program also includes a work by Beethoven's Second Symphony, and that's paired with Brahms Academic Festival Overture."
