  The GVO season brings its 2024-25 season to an exuberant close with two brilliant works by Haydn and Beethoven. New York based, multi-talented virtuoso cellist Karen Ouzounian makes her GVO debut with the Haydn Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major, paired with Beethoven's maniacally energized Seventh Symphony, conducted by Music Director Barbara Yahr.

Sought after for her "radiant" (The New York Times) performances full of "tremendous heart, bringing joy and a captivating sound to the stage" (The Strad), Karen Ouzounian is an acclaimed cellist and composer who creates music from a deeply personal place. She has appeared as a soloist in venues including the Konzerthaus Berlin, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Kolner Philharmonie, Tonhalle Dusseldorf and Carnegie Hall, championing a remarkable breadth of music with fierce commitment and emotional power. An omnivorous musical spirit who "powerfully shatters pigeonholes with her artistic partners" (Ravinia Magazine), she has premiered numerous works and collaborated with some of the most singular musicians of our time, including Rhiannon Giddens, Augustin Hadelich and Kayhan Kalhor. She is a member of the Silkroad Ensemble, has appeared at the Marlboro, Ojai, Caramoor and Ravinia festivals, and was the founding cellist of the Aizuri Quartet for eleven years, earning a GRAMMY nomination, major chamber music prizes on three continents, and serving as the MetLiveArts String Quartet-in-Residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2024 she premiered Dear Mountains, her co-composed work with Lembit Beecher for solo cello, oud, percussion and chorus.
