Performances: Nov 10 & 11 @8pm

Music Director Laureate Marin Alsop returns with the astonishing violinist Augustin Hadelich for a program that celebrates the redemptive power of creativity. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony turns mere notes into articles of faith, charting an iconic course from darkness to light. The Violin Concerto that Shostakovich wrote after Stalin’s death revels in the freedom of self-expression. Amid the pain of World War II, Still memorialized his fellow Black Americans and their long-overlooked sacrifices.
