__Carlos Simon__: Four Black American Dances
__Richard Strauss__: Four Last Songs
__Ludwig van Beethoven__: Symphony No. 5
You know the famous four-note opening—now, be there for the full glory that is Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. Imaginative, violent, and wide-ranging, this colossal crowd-pleaser thrusts the audience into Beethoven’s state of mind with roaring tension building to a triumphant, booming climax.
Gianandrea Noseda opens the program with Strauss’ Four Last Songs featuring internationally acclaimed American soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen along with Carlos Simon’s celebratory Four Black American Dances.
