With two explosive chords, Beethoven鈥檚 Eroica symphony launched a new era for music and created a world of limitless sonic potential. It鈥檚 revolutionary in every sense, and for our Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth 鈥� a composer himself 鈥� it鈥檚 the natural culmination of a concert filled with sounds that stretch the bounds of possibility. The poetry of Georg Trakl finds a wordless voice in Donghoon Shin鈥檚 wild and wonderful new cello concerto (and the young South Korean cellist Jaemin Han has been described as 鈥渁 staggering talent鈥�). The late Harrison Birtwistle, meanwhile, dives deep into nocturnal melancholy, and finds both terror and beauty: a potent tribute, in what would have been Birtwistle鈥檚 90th birthday year.

This concert ends at approximately 9:40pm
