Conductor and Artistic Director finalist Silas Huff leads an evocative and richly textured program that spans continents and centuries. The evening begins with Coleridge-Taylor’s vibrant “Overture to the Song of Hiawatha” and features the uplifting piece “We Will Soar” by rising contemporary composer Elena Specht. Acclaimed violinist Dylana Jenson brings both fiery virtuosity and emotional depth to Sibelius’s hauntingly beautiful Violin Concerto. The program culminates in Nielsen’s bold and dramatic Symphony No. 5, offering a gripping musical journey of struggle and triumph.
