**Synopsis:**  
Winner of multiple Tony Awards, August Wilson’s powerful play, *Fences*, delves into the African American experience of the 1950s. Set in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, *Fences* chronicles the life of Troy Maxson, a 53-year-old man grappling with the harsh realities of post-slavery America, where civil rights progress remains elusive. Once a promising baseball talent thwarted by racial barriers, Troy now toils as a garbage collector, struggling to provide for his family. His thwarted dreams and simmering frustrations ignite a tumultuous journey, testing the bonds of his relationships and the limits of his endurance. With poignant insight and searing honesty, *Fences* offers a compelling exploration of one man’s resilience in the face of systemic injustice.

The works on Maestro Wesley Schulz’s beautiful program are inspired by the sea and sky. Nielsen’s Helios Overture was written while the composer was on holiday in Athens, and the music poetically depicts the sun over the Aegean Sea. Similarly, the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius wrote his optimistic Second Symphony while vacationing in an Italian coastal village. The touching work provided hope to the Finnish people while they fought against Russian oppression, and it became a symbol of national pride. Torke’s Sky Concerto, nominated for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize in Music and premiered by Tessa Lark (who also received a Grammy nomination for her recording of the work), is infused with references to Lark’s Kentucky roots and background as bluegrass fiddler. Torke has written, “Just as when one looks up and sees the open expanse of the sky, I felt an openness when writing this piece, a renewed freshness to putting notes together.”

Little Shop of Horrors

Maestro Kellen Gray’s program explores beautiful memories and outdoor delights. Dvořák’s My Home was originally written to accompany a patriotic theatrical production, and for it the composer draws from the song “Where is my Home?,” which today is the Czech national anthem. Similarly, American composer Florence Price’s 1934 piano concerto uses the hymns and spirituals of her youth as the source for her best-known concerto, performed by the internationally-acclaimed Stewart Goodyear, a Tallahassee favorite! Rounding out the program is Beethoven’s gleeful and spirited Fourth Symphony, written at the country estate of his patron Prince Lichnowsky as he enjoyed a daily tonic of outdoor delights—sunshine, warmth, fresh air, and the sounds of nature.
