Organizer’s description
The celebrated Canadian conductor Peter Oundjian turns the clock back to 1936 for works by the American Romantic Samuel Barber. The iconic Adagio for Strings equally serves as a great American elegy and a devastating Hollywood soundtrack (Platoon, The Elephant Man, Lorenzo's Oil, etc.). Barber's warmly melodic First Symphony delivers drama and passion, while the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra stirs up a rhythmic maelstrom in Frenzy: A Short Symphony by American John Adams. The Orchestra welcomes the "transformational" saxophone virtuoso Steven Banks for Joan Tower's fluid and lyrical concerto Love Returns.
