The community gathers to celebrate a milestone. Conductor Laureate Leonard Slatkin brings a lifetime of experience to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, music of deeply personal emotions. Cindy McTee winds the orchestra like a clock, then lets it spin. Daniel Slatkin reaches into the cosmos for a work that uses music from the spacecraft Voyager’s golden record. And five of Domenico Scarlatti’s sonatas are given new life in Leonard's arrangements.

As the New York Times declares, Emanuel Ax’s performances are “never less than spellbinding.” Experience the power and passion of this modern master live as the seven-time Grammy winner performs Mozart’s fierce and far-reaching Piano Concerto No. 20. In a fitting concert finale honoring former NSO Music Director Leonard Slatkin’s return during his 80th birthday year, Walton’s Symphony No. 1 erupts with energy evolving from fear and despair to strength and triumph.

Shostakovich’s Fifth journeys from haunting depths to its famously ambiguous finale. Saxophone virtuoso Timothy McAllister is the soloist in John Corigliano’s Triathlon, which was written for him. With movements centered on soprano, alto, and baritone saxophones, the piece requires — in the composer’s words — “three feats of high athletic prowess.” Cindy McTee’s Double Play is inspired by mid-20th-century big-band jazz.
