Whipping winds, bombastic percussion and shimmering strings—this captivating program is pulsing with new energy and features not one, but three pieces performed by the Minnesota Orchestra for the first time. First, Chilean-born conductor Paolo Bortolameolli introduces audiences to Miguel Farías’ evocative Retratos Australes. Then our own First Associate Concertmaster Susie Park performs Gabriela Ortiz’s blazing violin concerto. Finally, Shostakovich's Symphony No. 3 is sometimes nicknamed "The Fiery Angel," and you'll hear why in the work's intensity, from the opening chords to its haunted ending.
