The 2022 concert of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO), conducted by Lahav Shani and featuring violinist Sayaka Shoji, was a captivating evening. Shani led a bold performance of Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3, followed by Shoji’s stunning rendition of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Her expressive, virtuosic playing was complemented perfectly by Shani and the IPO. The concert concluded with Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite (1919), showcasing Shani’s dynamic conducting.
