Associate Conductor Nathan Aspinall conducts our annual concert shining the spotlight on an up-and-coming pianist. The phenomenally gifted Janice Carissa takes the stage for Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 17 — premiered in 1784 by one of Mozart's rising star students. Anna Clyne's This Midnight Hour, inspired by poetry, makes full use of the spectrum of colors in the orchestra. And Sergei Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5 was penned at the height of WWII as "a hymn to free and happy Man…his pure and noble spirit."

Performances Feb. 2 & 3 at 7:30pm.
