Nurit Bar-Josef /  Britt Orchestra

Saturday, August 11, 2012 • 8 p.m.

At the age of 26, Nurit Bar-Josef, who made her solo debut with the National Symphony Orchestra in February 2001, joined the Orchestra as concertmaster in September 2001. She previously spent three years as assistant concertmaster of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops.

As we celebrate Britt's 50th season, one of the key aspects we're celebrating is 'music and relationships.' This concert celebrates that theme, especially within Elgar's Enigma Variations. Each of the piece's fourteen variations was written as an affectionate musical portrayal of the composer's "friends pictured within."
