| Details: | We are honored to commission a brand-new work by African American composer Timothy Adams based on the life of Harriet Tubman. Former Principal Timpanist of the Pittsburgh Symphony and current Chair of the Percussion Department at the University of Georgia, Adams brings his eclectic and rich musical instincts to a subject so crucial to the understanding of our national identity. Scored for strings and percussion, this new work is destined to be a powerful statement to lead off our concert. We then welcome young virtuoso Steven Banks to the Warner Theatre stage for the very first time, playing the rhapsodic Glazunov Concerto coupled with a vivacious Concertino by Frenchman Jaques Ibert. The evening will be capped by one of Beethoven’s most beloved symphonies, the Seventh. Dubbed the ‘apotheosis of the dance’ by Richard Wagner, Beethoven’s Seventh contrasts the powerful rhythmic profile of the outer movements with one of the most moving, elegiac slow movements Beethoven ever wrote, all motivated by an unrelenting pulse that gives this work its reputation.
