Overview
Beethoven Symphony No. 7
Ligeti’s Concert Românesc, which draws from folk music he studied at the Folklore Institute of Bucharest, opens the program. Tracy Silverman* elevates the electric violin in Adams’ The Dharma at Big Sur, a piece written specifically for him by Pulitzer Prize-winner John Adams. American conductor Ryan Bancroft leads the orchestra with Beethoven’s remarkable Seventh Symphony on the second half.
*The Dharma at Big Sur was originally scheduled to be performed by Chloë Hanslip, who is no longer able to perform on this program due to delays in the visa application process, as experienced by so many during the pandemic.
