Raise a glass to a vibrant new season! The evening begins with the Canadian première of Carlos Simon's Wake Up!, a powerful and evocative work that challenges listeners to engage with the world around them. Following this, Spotlight Artist and Canadian piano sensation Jan Lisiecki joins Concertmaster Jonathan Crow and Principal Cello Joseph Johnson for Beethoven’s captivating Triple Concerto, a piece that shines a light on three soloists. Finally, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition invites you on an imaginative stroll through an art gallery, each note echoing the brush strokes of a different painting. Before the concert and during intermission, explore our lobby display featuring the paintings that inspired Mussorgsky’s work, complete with insights on how each piece connects to the music you’ll hear.
