Warm up with a fiery violin concerto featuring the great Elizabeth Pitcairn, and the thrilling Oratorio, "Elijah"!

TOCCATA-Tahoe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus presents celebrated American violin virtuoso Elizabeth Pitcairn performing one of the 10 greatest violin concertos of all time. And more than 100 singers and instrumentalists bring you Mendelssohn’s spectacular “Elijah.” Hear the concert at Montbleu Casino Theater in South Lake Tahoe/Stateline on Sunday, Feb. 10th at 4:00 p.m.

Other performances will be Feb. 9 - 17 in Incline Village, Gardnerville and Reno.

Elizabeth Pitcairn has earned a stunning and well-deserved reputation as one of America's most beloved soloists. She performs with one of the world's most legendary instruments, the "Red Mendelssohn" Stradivarius of 1720 (the "red violin"). In Wieniawski's "Violin Concerto #2," Ms. Pitcairn shows off virtuoso bowing techniques and flashy embellishments, as well as phenomenal musicality that will move you incredibly.

For "Elijah," Mendelssohn pulled out all the stops: expect angels singing from on high, and depictions of the storm, earthquake, lightning and fierce wind that precede the "still small voice" of God. And, spoiler alert, Elijah ascends to heaven in a fiery chariot!

Tickets are $30 for adults ($40 preferred seating, $25 for seniors, free for youth age 23 and under with ID.
