Violist
There is something extraordinary — and bordering on superhuman — that happens when Shi steps into the foreground.”
Shi’s musical ease and grace...his deep, woody and smooth tone never faltered.”
...an utterly captivating soloist.”
Shi embraced his solo role with a warm, centered tone and long lyrical lines, allowing the viola to emerge organically from Berlioz’s orchestral textures.”
Shi’s exquisite viola tone basked in the warm, sunny Berlioz harmonies, singing out with a carefree panache.”
Upcoming Performances
Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann tees up a season-long homage to the spirited delights of Johannes Brahms. Starting with an audience favorite, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra welcomes the young violinist Johan Dalene, a “tantalizing talent,” for Brahms’ feverishly impassioned Violin Concerto. After intermission, the Orchestra roars back to life with Brahms’s thundering Symphony No. 1. Maestro Stutzmann opens the program with a pyrotechnic classic, the Overture to Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks.
