The spotlight turns to violinist Nathan Amaral in Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Amaral began violin through a social project in Mangueira and has since become one of the most compelling young violinists on the international stage. He won First Prize at the 2024 Sphinx Competition and the Grand Prize of the 2024 CAG-YCAT Competitions, and Yo-Yo Ma has praised his rare ability to move beyond technique into the heart of musical expression. Tchaikovsky’s concerto gives him a perfect canvas: soaring melodies, dazzling passagework, and emotional sweep from first note to last.
