The fabulous Philadelphia sound - as only it can sound at NJPAC. Rising conducting sensation Karina Canellakis conducts Beethoven's mighty Symphony No. 3, the "Eroica."

And she is joined by pianist Inon Barnatan for Mozart's eloquent Piano Concerto No. 24. The evening begins with music by pioneering Black composer Julia Perry, her rousing, blues-based Study for Orchestra composed in 1952.
