New Zealand-born conductor Gemma New, recently named the 2021 recipient of The Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award, leads a program of works that draw inspirations from art and the sea. Mendelssohn’s The Hebrides Overture and Debussy’s La mer take listeners on a journey through the misty winds and waves of Scottish and French seas. Kevin Puts’ The Brightness of Light pulls emotions from letters exchanged between painter Georgia O’Keeffe and her husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Paired with stunning visuals from the couple, opera superstars Renée Fleming and Rod Gilfry give voice to

O’Keeffe and Stieglitz.
