The “Concerto for Viola and Orchestra” op. 37 is the last orchestral work by composer Miklós Rózsa. Completed in 1979, it marks the end of a series of solo concertos that Rózsa dedicated to renowned performers. He dedicated his op. 37 to Pinchas Zukerman and André Previn, who premièred it to great acclaim in Pittsburgh in May 1984 . Since then, the striking concerto has found its way into the repertoire of many violists.
