This program traces a powerful arc from explosive modern energy to timeless symphonic exhilaration. Inspired by Beethoven’s music, Unsuk Chin’s Subito con forza bursts onto the stage with razor-sharp rhythms and volatile color. The concert will continue with the lyrical warmth of Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto, featuring Mead Witter School of Music Assistant Professor of Violin Dawn Wohn. Its emotional candor takes the listener from rhapsodic intimacy to a finale of dazzling propulsion that will culminate in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, an incredible work of unstoppable momentum whose driving rhythms and ecstatic vitality have made it one of the most electrifying celebrations in the orchestral repertoire.
