2026 Winter Season: Featuring Benjamin Beilman in Concert With Alasdair Neale and Festival Musicians

The 2026 Winter Season features guest curator and violinist Benjamin Beilman. Praised for his passionate performances and distinctive tone — which The New York Times described as  “muscular with a glint of violence” — Mr. Beilman last performed with Music Director Alasdair Neale and the Festival Orchestra in 2018, playing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. An accomplished chamber musician, he’ll join forces with Festival Orchestra musicians.
