Concert I: Fate & Turmoil (Zankel)

The SSSO kicks of their 92nd season with an appearance at Zankel Music Center and Proctors! Experience a captivating evening of storytelling through music. Beethoven’s “Overture to Egmont” sets the stage with heroic intensity, while Strauss’ “Macbeth” brings Shakespeare’s tragic character to life in dramatic orchestral form. The program concludes when the SSSO is joined by guest pianist Philip Fisher for Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphony No. 2, The Age of Anxiety,” a gripping, jazz-infused journey inspired by W. H. Auden’s epic poem.

Don’t miss the pre-concert talk with Artistic Director/Conductor Glen Cortese at 6 p.m. at Zankel! It’s an excellent way to learn more about the music and an opportunity to ask questions about the performance. All are invited to attend. 

Tickets are $17–$24. Children under 18 are free when accompanied by a ticketed adult.

Run time: 2 hours
