The Camerata Chicago Orchestra is thrilled to present Brazilian violinist Guido Sant’Anna in his North American debut. Guido gained international recognition in 2022 when at seventeen he became the first South American violinist to win the prestigious International Fritz Kreisler Competition in Vienna. Conducted by Maestro Drostan Hall, repertoire will include the Brahms Violin Concerto with internationally renowned violinist Guido Sant’Anna, and great music inspired by great literature: – La Forza del Destino by Verdi. The libretto was written by Francesco Maria Piave based on Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino, a Spanish drama written in 1835 by Ángel de Saavedra, 3rd Duke of Rivas. – Peer Gynt by Grieg inspired by the five-act play of the same name written in verse in 1867 by the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen. – A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Mendelssohn inspired by and written for a production of Shakespeare’s play in 1842.
