Juraj ValÄ?uha—say YOO-rye VAL-choo-ah—is definitely a name to learn if you don't know it already. This young Slovakian conductor has received huge ovations across Europe and now, America.

For his Minnesota debut, he brings an array of musical fireworks from his central European homeland. Strauss’ Don Juan is a tour de force that only the most virtuosic conductors and players can master. Bartok’s Concerto is the 20th-century orchestral showpiece—its ending a whirlwind of pure joy.
