In short

Amy Glidden is a violinist scheduled to perform as soloist with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra in October 2026, playing Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1, alongside an appearance in the orchestra's "UpClose" series. Beyond these listed engagements, we do not have verified biographical details to share about her career.

What to listen for

In this program, Glidden takes on Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, a work built around a singing, almost vocal main melody in the first movement, a slow second movement often singled out as the emotional core of the piece, and a finale driven by a bold, dance-like tune. Listeners can expect the violin to carry long, arching lines against the orchestra, with moments where the soloist plays quietly and intimately before the ensemble answers with fuller sound. The concert opens with Jonathan Leshnoff's Symphony No. 5 and closes with Brahms's Symphony No. 2, a work known for its warm, pastoral character. The additional "BPO UpClose" appearance suggests a smaller, more informal setting where audiences may hear Glidden discuss or perform in a closer, conversational format.
