This concert is a powerful tribute to veterans, honoring their courage and sacrifice through exceptional music that embodies the American spirit.

Solemn trumpet fanfares frame Maurice Ravel’s elegant Le Tombeau de Couperin and Barber’s deeply moving Adagio for Strings.

Our captivating program opens with Arnold Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony No. 2, a rich and expressive work that bridges the gap between tradition and modernism. We are then honored to welcome celebrated pianist Awadagin Pratt to the stage, bringing his exceptional insight and intensity to Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23, a masterpiece of elegance and lyrical beauty. After an intermission, Beethoven’s exhilarating Symphony No. 7 closes the afternoon with its irresistible energy and triumphant spirit.
