- Coleman Seven O’Clock Shout
- Mozart Clarinet Concerto
- Sibelius Symphony No. 1
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, New Yorkers cheered, banged pots, and sang to express their gratitude to healthcare workers every evening at 7pm. We open our program with Valerie Coleman’s Seven O’Clock Shout, which honors and celebrates this shared experience. Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s principal clarinet Michael Rusinek joins us again for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, one of his last and most extraordinary works. Finally, we present Jean Sibelius’ First Symphony, a work that traverses triumph and turbulence as only Sibelius can.
