Music of Steel & Majesty with the Oregon Symphony

Andy Akiho — Beneath Lighted Coffers (Andy Akiho, steel pans)
Franz Schubert — Symphony No. 9 in C major, D. 944 "The Great"

Be transported by the silvery sounds of the steel pan as Grammy-nominated composer and percussionist Andy Akiho performs Beneath Lighted Coffers, inspired by the architecture of the Roman Pantheon. Hailed by Schumann as "sheer musical mastery," Schubert's Ninth Symphony is the composer's most exuberant, expansive symphonic statement.
