Vadim Gluzman performs with West MI Symphony

Blue Lake Public Radio | By Steve Albert

Published November 11, 2026 at 3:10 PM EST

The West Michigan Symphony opens its 2026-2027 Masterworks series on Friday, featuring music by Antonin Dvorak and Peter Tchaikovsky, two composers who possessed a gift for writing memorable melodies. Judy Wagley chats with WMS music director Scott Speck, and guest artist Vadim Gluzman about Dvorak's evocative Symphony Number 8, and we will hear the story of how Gluzman brings Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto to life by performing on the very instrument played by the work's original dedicatee.
