Hailed as “one of the great and distinctive American pianists and conductors of our time,” pianist Awadagin Pratt performs Jessie Montgomery’s Rounds, a work inspired by poetry, life and connectedness. Selections from Daniel Catan’s opera Florencia provide a lyrical opening to the program that closes with Principal Conductor Ari Pelto leading the orchestra for Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4, which the composer himself called his “best symphonic work ever.”
