“Hailed as `the Jascha Heifetz of our day ’ Brandon-born violinist and <strong>Winnipeg</strong><br />
favourite James Ehnes is widely considered one of the most dynamic and exciting<br />
performers in classical music.”<br />
– Globe and Mail<br />
Our season closes with Manitoba's gift to the world of pre-eminent violinists in James<br />
Ehnes. Born in Brandon, James has risen to the top, performing with the world's<br />
great orchestras and winning awards with nearly every new recording he releases.<br />
James performs Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto – a hallmark of the literature – from<br />
the composer who created ballet classics Nutcracker, Swan Lake and Sleeping<br />
Beauty. We close this unforgettable program with Tchaikovsky's magnificent and<br />
