Conductor Emeritus Peter Oundjian leads a program that spotlights new voices and musical portraits, beginning with a World Première by Affiliate Composer Liam Ritz. Spectacular saxophonist Steven Banks then brings to life Joan Tower’s lyrical Love Returns , a soulful new concerto reflecting on how love resurfaces through struggle and renewal, before the orchestra invites listeners on Mussorgsky’s vivid walk through an art gallery in Pictures at an Exhibition .
Enhance your concert experience by arriving early for exquisite performances by the TSO Chamber Soloists , thoughtfully curated by Jonathan Crow. There will be a pre-concert performance at 1:45pm included with the price of your ticket to the Sunday, May 16 performance.
