Sorrow & Joy

Alumna Nicky Sohn’s The Blue Hour reflects on our planet’s precarious state and encourages contemplation and action. Gershwin’s An American in Paris bursts with jazzy charm and vibrant city rhythms—music so infectious it practically dances off the stage. On the other end of the musical spectrum, Tchaikovsky’s final symphony explores a wide-ranging emotional landscape and provides personal reflections on the composer’s storied life.
