About this Event
We close our 51st orchestral season with three works that honor the human spirit. Two of them will likely be new to many audience members. Florence Price’s Ethiopia’s Shadow in America, a depiction of the historic experience of enslaved Black Americans, was discovered in 2009 in an abandoned house more than 50 years after her death. Concertmaster Sarah Grimes performs the Third Violin Concerto of Polish composer, violinist, pianist, and author Grażyna Bacewicz, a work notable for its difficulty and lyricism combined with the influence of Béla Bartók. The program concludes with Death and Transfiguration, Richard Strauss’ monumental portrayal of the journey from earthly toil to heavenly bliss.
