A soloist and a symphony! St. Paul Chamber Orchestra violinist Eunice Kim takes center stage in one of the most enduring violin concertos of all time, Camille Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto No. 3, paired with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1. You’ll also hear Jean Françaix’s colorful and delightful dances for ten winds, taken from his ballet Les malheurs de Sophie (Sophie’s Misfortunes), which he wrote after the famed 19th century French book of parables for children. The book follows the adventures of Sophie, a young and curious girl known for misbehaving. Listen to the live broadcast with host Steve Seel at 7 p.m. Friday, July 10, on YourClassical MPR.
