Experience a powerful emotional journey as we present three deeply lyrical masterworks. Copland's Quiet City evokes urban solitude and contemplation, while Barber's Violin Concerto—performed by Sphinx Competition winner Amaryn Olmeda—offers pensive, elegant songfulness that moves from introspection to brilliant virtuosity. The concert culminates with Sibelius' triumphant Symphony No. 2, building from reflection to a glorious, uplifting finale. From quiet contemplation to radiant celebration, this program reveals the full range of the human spirit through three profoundly beautiful works.
