One moment…

The Lambert Concerto is an original work by Brian Krinke, perfect for young violin students ready to tackle their first concerto. It was written for one of Krinke's talented violin students whose father was a composer as well. It has been performed successfully by a number of violin students, and this new string orchestra accompaniment has allowed the composer the opportunity to expand some of the harmonies, as well as for the student to perform the work with their peers.

Why we love this

Krinke wrote this concerto with a specific student in mind, and that intentionality shows in every phrase. The new string orchestra arrangement honors the solo part while giving the accompanying musicians genuinely musical material to play, making this a shared learning experience rather than a showcase that leaves the ensemble idle. Young violinists get their first taste of real concerto performance with a composer who understands exactly what they're ready for.

What to expect

The Lambert Concerto sits comfortably in a lyrical, approachable world that neither intimidates nor condescends. The expanded harmonies in this string orchestra version create a warm, supportive sound around the soloist, making the performance feel like a collaboration rather than a spotlight moment.

Who it's for

This concerto speaks directly to young violinists who have progressed beyond early solos and are ready for the technical and musical demands of a full concerto form. String orchestras at the intermediate level will find the accompaniment parts accessible and rewarding, offering genuine musical contribution without overwhelming younger players.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the solo violin so it projects clearly over the string accompaniment without requiring excessive volume; a well-supported, focused tone carries more than force.
Take time during sectional rehearsals to ensure string parts lock rhythmically, especially in accompanimental figures that support the soloist's phrasing.
Allow the soloist and conductor to rehearse together early and often; the expanded harmonies offer richer accompaniment when the ensemble knows the soloist's interpretation.

How to use it

This works beautifully as a featured solo within a concert, giving your best young violinist a moment to shine while keeping the rest of your ensemble meaningfully engaged. Consider programming it alongside lighter orchestral fare to create a balanced concert arc, or feature it as the centerpiece of a spring recital celebrating student growth.
