The Pioneer Valley Symphony opens the season honoring the contribution of women composers to classical music. Ethyl Smyth’s rousing “March of the Women” celebrates resilient, daring, and effective advocacy of women. The beautiful and entrancing piano concerto by Clara Wieck Schumann featuring Yang Liu forms the centerpiece of the concert before exploring the world of counterpoint and chorales with Robert Schumann’s beloved Rhenish symphony prefaced by Palestrina’s Adoramus Te and Stokowski’s sumptuous rendering of it for orchestra.
Arrive early at 1PM for a pre-concert talk with Dr. David Schneider.
