The OSM’s matinee series began on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. with some audience members ramrod in their seats, by all appearances fully alert, and others sucking their first coffees discreetly from purses, shirt sleeves, and at least one hat. The rising conductor Jakub Hrša summoned an elegant performance from the OSM and soloist Vilde Frang performed Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 attentively and without exaggeration.
Two Czech works rounded out the refreshing program.
