This concert is all about transformation, through music and through personal growth. Jessica Meyer’s Turbulent Flames brings raw energy and emotional depth. PYP is proud to be part of the national consortium that commissioned this bold new work, spotlighting a composer whose voice deserves far more recognition.

Flames of Transformation

Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall

We end Season 102 with music that explores identity, reinvention, and imagination. Dvořák’s My Homeland Overture brings warmth and lyrical charm, while Aaron Copland’s El Salón México offers a colorful, folkloric portrait of a Mexico City dance hall. Chosen in honor of Copland’s 125th birthday, it reflects the season’s recurring theme of place and cultural exchange.
