Former Music Director Neeme Jarvi returns to takes our audiences on a journey of power and reflection fueled by strings and brass in Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4. With it's elements of jazz and infusion of blues, William Grant Stills' most popular symphony remains relevant today as the first symphony composed by an African American to be performed by a professional orchestra in the United States. Arvo Part poured his emotions about the passing of composer Benjamin Britten into the evocative composition for strings and one lone chime that opens this program.
