Add to my Calendar 10-11-2016 19:30 10-11-2016 21:30 36 Maxim Vengerov and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra The Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra continues its deepening association with Artist in Residence, Maxim Vengerov. Performing two concertos in one evening, Vengerov premieres Eugene Birman's Violin Concerto, a striking composition chosen for performance during our 2015 Composers' Workshop. Beethoven's ethereal contribution to the solo genre - his Violin Concerto of 1806 - immortalised a vision of the instrument which encompassed surging lyric boundaries and melodic allure, while his Eighth Symphony imparted an exuberant philosophy of symphonic experimentation.
