Kurt Nikkanen, an All-Bach violin concert, Spire Series

The Spire Series presents solo violinist, Kurt Nikkanen, in an all-Bach program.

Kurt Nikkanen is an international soloist of the highest order. At twelve, he gave his Carnegie Hall debut; he was then invited by Zubin Mehta to perform the Paganini Concerto No. 1 with the New York Philharmonic for a Young People’s concert. His recording of William Walton’s Violin Concerto with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra was chosen as Critic’s Choice for 2010 in Gramophone Magazine. Mr. Nikkanen is the Concertmaster of the New York City Ballet Orchestra.

A meet-the-artist reception will follow the concert.
