The journey begins with Grażyna Bacewicz’s Overture, a dazzling burst of orchestral brilliance that crackles with energy. She broke new ground as she continued writing music while war threatened to destroy her country. Davidson Fellow Zlatomir Fung takes center stage for Elgar's Cello Concerto, a soul-baring masterpiece that speaks in whispers and echoes in eternity. Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 brings the evening to a jubilant close, its relentless rhythms and soaring melodies sweeping us toward a finale that dances with unshakable joy.
