Mitt and Gill at Davies Symphony Hall June 12-15, 2-14

Avery Fisher Prize-winner Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time, whose combination of flawless technique with inimitable warmth and generosity of spirit has solidified his legacy as an American master. Shaham brings to life Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto, with its vibrant touches of Russian and Spanish folk culture.
Highlighting this worldly program is the Gamelan Sekar Jaya ensemble performing a work on traditional Balinese gamelans. Then, Britten's only ballet, written after he visited the island of Bali. The colorful Prince of the Pagodas, with its finely woven timbre of the gamelan, evokes an exotic whimsy of the tropics.

"Haunting . . . [a] drama hewn out of a myth that speaks across the centuries" —The Guardian
"An emotionally piercing marvel" —The Times of London
The season expands to global dimensions with The Orphan of Zhao, James Fenton's beautiful reinvention of a classic Chinese legend that has its roots back in the fourth century BCE. The inimitable stage and film star BD Wong (M. Butterfly, Law & Order: Special Victim Unit) will make his A.C.T. debut in this luminous production. In the aftermath of a violent coup, an epic story of self-sacrifice and revenge plays out as a young orphan discovers the shattering truth behind his origins. Often described as the Chinese Hamlet, this gripping tale was the first Chinese play to be translated in the West and has inspired countless operas, plays, and movies.
