Beethoven’s Ninth—with its cries for brotherhood and joy—came from a war-torn time 200 years ago, and this inspiring symphony has never been more relevant than today. This exciting program also introduces you to an astonishing new talent, saxophonist Steven Banks, as he lifts the Black experience from Africa to now in Billy Childs’ saxophone concerto, Diaspora.
Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Polonaise from Eugene Onegin
Billy Childs, Diaspora
Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony No. 9, “Choral”
