Artistic Director Mark Seto kicks off The Chelsea Symphony's 19th season with the world premiere of Aidan Gold's Swallowtail, a breathtaking work that draws inspiration from the majestic landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. Violinist Joseph Morag and cellist Alec Hon are the featured soloists in the Double Concerto by Johannes Brahms, the composer's final work for orchestra. TCS Conducting Fellow Damali Willingham leads the orchestra in William Grant Still's "Afro-American" Symphony, a groundbreaking work that synthesizes the blues and the European symphonic tradition.
Performances on Sept. 20 & 21.
