MPO’s Pride concert evokes the unbound freedom of wide open spaces — from the homesteaders’ clearing of Aaron Copland’s ballet to the vast deserts of Alexander Borodin’s symphonic poem, from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s jubilant dance to the flight of monarchs in Andrew Yee’s Briefly Gorgeous, and from the heartfelt melodies of Diane Benjamin’s overture to the romping celebration of Beethoven’s symphonic finale.While this is a no-cost event, please consider making a donation at checkout.
