In short

Fred Devyatkin appears with the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra in South Carolina, both as conductor and as a violin soloist. In October 2026 he conducts a program of German orchestral works, and in December 2026 he steps out as violin soloist in a Bach double concerto alongside a holiday favorite by Tchaikovsky.

What to listen for

In the October concert, listeners can expect a Telemann concerto for two violas, an unusual pairing that lets two lower-voiced string instruments trade melodic lines, followed by Beethoven's First Symphony, a compact classical-style work that still hints at the composer's later boldness, and Mendelssohn's "Scottish" Symphony, whose brooding opening and dance-like final pages evoke a windswept landscape. In December, the Bach Double Concerto pairs violin with oboe in a close, conversational duet built on interlocking melodic lines, a chance to hear Devyatkin as a soloist rather than from the podium, before the orchestra turns to selections from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, full of the familiar sparkle of its dances.
