    James MacMillan has repeatedly won the hearts of Philadelphia Orchestra audiences with a series of brilliantly original yet accessible works--"a composer so confident of his own musical language," wrote the Guardian, "that he makes it instantly communicative to his listeners." The U.S. premiere of his Violin Concerto is one of a series of new works by living composers forming part of the Orchestra's 2010-11 season. The Siberian-born Vadim Repin began his career at age 17 as the youngest winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. Maestro Dutoit frames the Concerto with Berlioz's coy Overture to his opera based on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing--one of many works in which the composer expressed his fascination with the Bard--and Tchaikovsky's white-hot Fifth Symphony with its haunting, obsessive "Fate" motto.
