Known for his creative programming and inviting stage presence, Music Director Finalist Wilbur Lin kicks off with Anna Clyne’s PIVOT which shows how a single idea can shift perspective without losing its core. Not to be outdone, Amy Beach’s Gaelic Symphony has a “simple, rugged, unpretentious beauty,” using old Irish melodies to paint her picture of the American national concert music that composers were trying to find at the time. For the second half of the evening, guest artist Michael Stephen Brown will dazzle on the piano with Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Written after the disastrous premiere of his First Symphony, it’s a true triumph over tragedy as Rachmaninoff recovered from his depression and found himself inspired again.
