Manfred Honeck inaugurates the new season in Pittsburgh with a Sibelius concerto and a Dvořák symphony, prefaced by a contemporary American work by Christopher Theofanidis. 

Smart sophistication and creepy entertainment go hand-in-hand in an excursion to odd corners of the chamber repertoire.

Julius Eastman's 1979 Gay Guerilla for two pianos began elegantly and quickly filled in its spaces, building from harmonies and forever looking upward.
