Description

Spanning a wide range of emotion, this concert offers music both epic and intimate. Jolted to life by its famous opening chords, Grieg's beloved Piano Concerto is the self-assured statement of Norway's most famous musical son. The concerto continues to reign as an audience favorite and features brilliant piano soloist Orion Weiss. Anton Bruckner's sprawling Symphony No. 9 is a passionate symphonic statement that produces what many call a "cathedral of sound." The concert opens with American composer Jonathan Bailey Holland's Dream Elegy, a work he describes as "a somber response to events related the #blacklivesmatter movement."
