The Marion Ross Performing Arts Center will host a live high definition broadcast of the Berlin Philharmonic’s New Year’s Eve concert at 7 p.m. Thursday. The Berlin Philharmonic and conductor Sir Simon Rattle close 2015 with a fantastic star-studded New Year’s Eve concert featuring one of the world’s foremost virtuosos on violin, Anne-Sophie Mutter. The violinist who “plays anything and everything with scalding beauty,” according to the Washington Post, will perform in Camille Saint- Saëns’s thrilling piece, “Introduction et Rondo capriccioso” and Maurice Ravel’s “Tzigane,” a highly virtuosic rhapsody for violin and orchestra. According to a press release, magnificent orchestral pieces and dances from French operas and ballets will also be performed, before concluding the evening to a grandiose finale with Ravel’s rapidly undulating La Valse.

Other Berlin Philharmonic Live in HD performances to be broadcast in 2016 at Marion Ross Performing Arts Center include Beethoven Symphonies No. 4 and No. 7 at 7 p.m. Feb. 28 and Wagner and Bruckner concert at 7 p.m. May 22.
