Chaconne: Body through which the dream flows 25:53 III. Toccare Recorded live on 21 January 2022 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. In his Violin Concerto, the world-famous American composer John Adams allowed melody back into his rhythmically pulsing music for the first time in years. And how! The solo violin threads one soaring melody to the next. Very few violinists are capable of performing this extremely difficult work. Fortunately, there’s Leila Josefowicz, a tireless champion of contemporary music, and above all a great violinist who never shirks from a challenge. Made in America On 28, 29 and 30 January you can experience a whole weekend of music brimming with the energy and diversity of the United States on our website.
