Experience a transcendent musical journey with renowned Finnish conductor Osmo Vänskä, GRAMMY Award-winning ensemble Time for Three, and the Curtis Symphony Orchestra.
As we commence the historic centennial season, our program pays homage to the past while embracing the future. Jean Sibelius‘s Finlandia, a poignant tone poem featured in the inaugural Curtis Symphony Orchestra concert, sets the stage. Plus, a virtuosic performance of Jennifer Higdon’s Concerto 4-3 with genre-defying ensemble Time for Three, that seamlessly blends classical precision with the energy of a garage band. Sergei Prokofiev‘s Symphony No. 5 follows, igniting the stage with optimism, tension, and fervor.
