Showcasing the vast expressive range of the classical orchestra, Beethoven's "Eroica" celebrates the power of the human spirit in times of conflict and intolerance. And Creative Chair Gabriel Kahane's The Right to Be Forgotten (a folk opera in one act) explores the inner life of a reclusive musician who re-enters society after leaving the internet world behind for a year during the pandemic. This genre-defying work asks how we may find gratitude in our modern world.

Experience Emanuel Ax's unsurpassed virtuosity in Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto, presented alongside the composer's Second Symphony — two early works that find the German master honing his revolutionary musical voice. And Unsuk Chin's Subito con forza pays homage to Beethoven and the relentless energy that is the hallmark of his music.
Holst's The Planets conjures vivid portrayals of the mythological deities associated with our solar system, from Mars' drums of war to Neptune's ethereal mysticism. Plus, bassist and Creative Alliance member Xavier Foley brings consummate versatility to the stage, performing his For Justice and Peace, a powerful meditation on the legacy of slavery in the U.S.
