Conductor

Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony, “From the New World,”blends the traditional folk sounds of the composer’s Czech homeland with melodic influences discovered in African American and Native American music – tunes Dvořák first heard in his “new world,” the United States. Conductor Joseph Young makes his MSO debut in this dynamic program. Barber’s Violin Concerto, now an audience favorite, was once considered too difficult to be played; violinist Alexi Kenney wields “his architect’s eye for structure and space and a tone that ranges from the achingly fragile to full-bodied robustness” (The New York Times).

Memories from Paul McCartney’s life in Liverpool, England, inspire this story of growing up and finding our way. Beginning with Latin text that means “not for ourselves, but for the whole world were we born,” Liverpool Oratorio explores formative moments, relationships, and the responsibilities we accept. Cincinnati Opera proudly presents the world-premiere stage adaptation of McCartney’s acclaimed 1991 work for orchestra, chorus, and soloists. It’s a powerful story, full of heartfelt lyrics and soaring melodies, presented in a brand-new stage production.

The ISO welcomes back pianist Awadagin Pratt, described as “one of the great and distinctive American pianists of our time,” performing Beethoven’s brooding 3rd Piano Concerto. South Carolinian conductor Joseph Young makes his ISO debut with Dvořák’s 7th Symphony, a piece that experts agree “is among the greatest and purest examples of the symphonic art-form.”
