Principal Guest Conductor Jun Märkl explores the interplay of memory and music in poignant works by Ravel and Dutilleux that trace the devastating impact of two world wars on European culture. Concertmaster Sarah Kwak performs Prokofiev's shimmering, dreamlike Violin Concerto No. 1, which contrasts fairytale lightness with brazen savagery.
