Beethoven’s salvo for peace and brotherhood shares a Philadelphia Orchestra program with William Grant Still’s newly reorchestrated Wood Notes.

Performing with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the veteran pianist and energetic conductor make familiar Beethoven and Brahms sound immediate and invigorated. 

Fleming's program, an outgrowth of her Grammy-winning album Voice of Nature: The Anthropocene, makes an urgent case for the preservation of the world's natural wonders.

Returning to the first work he officially conducted as the Philadelphia Orchestra's Music Director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin offers a powerful study in contrasts, supported by a superb quartet of opera soloists.

Still's Second Symphony anchors a Saratoga program that also featured familiar hits by Stravinsky and Rachmaninov.
