Inspired by the dangerous conditions endured by young women who worked in match factories in the 1880s, Hannah Kendall’s The Spark Catchers opens the program and is followed by a dramatic performance of Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto by master pianist Benjamin Grosvenor. To close, the orchestra performs Shostakovich’s enigmatic Symphony No. 15 for the very first time. A work that alludes to and quotes freely from the music of other composers, the shimmering final chords will leave you transfixed.
This concert repeats on Fri., March 11 at 8 PM and Sun., March 13 at 3 PM at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore, MD.
