Fri Mar 29, 2024 | 11:00 am “Music is life, and like it, it is inextinguishable.” With this declaration written at the top of his score, Carl Nielsen’s Symphony No. 4 pits the everlasting spirit of life against the horror of World War I with dramatic music leading to, what else, but a battle between two timpani! Making his CSO debut, conductor Ryan Bancroft opens this program with Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Ballade for Orchestra, and Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, displaying the virtuosity of guest pianist Inon Barnatan, heralded by The New York Times as “one of the most admired pianists of his generation.” |

Sun Apr 21, 2024 | 2:00 pm Schoenberg's music, before he became known as a father of 20th-century 12-tone composition, developed from the harmonic bedrock of Romantics like Brahms, Mahler and Richard Strauss. His "Transfigured Night" was further heightened when Schoenberg met the love of his life and found inspiration in poetry of hope and acceptance. Led by Louis Langrée, the CSO performs this, along with Brahms' Violin Concerto, which features the return of Grammy-winning violinist Augustin Hadelich, and a co-commission from former CSO Composer-in-Residence Jonathan Bailey Holland. |

Fri May 3, 2024 | 8:00 pm Lutosławski’s interpretation of music for a funeral, and Bryce Dessner's Réponse Lutoslawski, which was inspired by the Musique funèbre, open this enlightening program. In his Tenebre, Dessner shares his take on the typical music for a Tenebrae service, where the extinguishing of candles symbolizes Christ's death. But unlike the service's descent into darkness, Dessner inverts it and takes listeners on a journey from darkness to light. |
