Palm Beach Symphony to World Premiere Paul Moravec’s ‘Lullaby’
January 22, 2026
Hailed as one of the most compelling violinists in the world, Vadim Repin will shine alongside Palm Beach Symphony for a performance of Serge Prokofiev’s lyrical and dynamic Violin Concerto No. 2 in G Minor, Op. 63. The Masterworks Series concert also includes the world premiere of Paul Moravec’s Lullaby, commissioned for Palm Beach Symphony by Ambassador Bonnie McElveen-Hunter, as well as Moravec’s Miami Variations and Johannes Brahms’ richly romantic Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Op. 90. The concert will deliver a thrilling blend of innovation and timeless beauty at Dreyfoos Hall at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach on Monday, March 2 at 7:30 p.m.
“When Bonnie approached me about commissioning a piece called Lullaby, she asked who I thought should write it. Paul was the first person to come to mind. He’s a great composer who famously wrote the opera The Shining, based on the novel by Stephen King,” said Palm Beach Symphony Music Director Gerard Schwarz, who will lead the concert. “Paul wrote two versions of Lullaby, one with piano and one with orchestra. We are excited to world premiere it with our featured soloist Vadim Repin on violin.”
