Sigal will conduct Mozart's Symphony No. 31 in D Major, "Paris" and Poulenc's Sinfonietta. The center of the program will feature Sigal as the soloist on Mozart's Concerto No. 3 in G Major for Violin and Orchestra. "From the moment Mozart's Symphony No. 31 opens with its famous rising and accelerating D Major scale to the last pitches of Poulenc's bright and satirical Sinfonietta, overflowing with dance rhythms, this concert celebrates not only the Paris of Mozart and the Paris of Poulenc, but spring itself," said Sigal.
Sigal was the featured violin soloist most recently on Max Bruch's "Scottish Fantasy" during a Masterworks Series concert in April 2007. Jeffrey Johnson's review of that performance in The Hartford Courant stated that "Sigal was able to deeply mine the brilliant passage work and the lyrical webs of expressive melodic writing that saturate the work…After intermission, the Hartford Symphony faithful gave Sigal some well-deserved extra applause as acknowledgment when he arrived onstage once again to signal tunings." -- www.hartfordsymphony.org
