In this program, suppressed voices struggle to break free. With Soul Force contemporary composer Jesse Montgomery pits a solo horn and serene strings against raucous percussion in a sonic drama inspired by the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: "We must respond to physical force with soul force." Two Scandinavians endeavor to establish sovereign identities. Norway's Edvard Grieg captured the character of a fairy-tale adventurer in his imaginative music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt. Finland's Jean Sibelius composed the patriotic tone poem Finlandia in anticipation of his country's fight for independence. In 1806 Ludwig van Beethoven was facing several health crises and crippling physical pain. Yet in that year he produced an astonishing array of works now considered masterpieces–including his titanic Violin Concerto in D Major.- Christopher Anderson-Bazzoli
