Munich Symphony Orchestra

Robert McDuffie, violin

Strongly committed to Munich and its music traditions, the Munich Symphony Orchestra is one of the city’s four symphony orchestras and most renowned ensembles. Grammy-nominated violinist Robert McDuffie enjoys a dynamic and multi-faceted career. While appearing as soloist with the world’s foremost orchestras, he has also shared the stage with Chuck Leavell and the late Gregg Allman in Midnight Rider and with actress/playwright Anna Deavere Smith in Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

Beyond The Stage, hosted by the Kravis Center’s Regional Arts Artistic Advisor Phillip Bergmann, gives the inside story of the music, musicians and composers for each Regional Arts concert. In each preconcert talk, he will provide interesting facts and background about the music and highlight elements of interest to all audience members. Talks begin at 12:45pm for the 2pm concerts in Persson Hall in The Picower Foundation Arts Education Center.
