Grammy-nominated composer Anna Clyne takes traditional folk themes to a new level in PIVOT—a piece that embodies its name as the orchestra constantly “pivots” through the twists and turns of the music.

Finally, be swept away by Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony, a composition inspired by his visit to the rolling green highlands of Caledonia.
