Repertoire
BARBER Adagio for Strings
JOHN ADAMS On the Transmigration of Souls
TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique”

In recognition of the 25th anniversary of September 11, Marin Alsop leads a program that opens what composer John Adams called a “memory space,” in his Pulitzer Prize-winning On the Transmigration of Souls. With the searching beauty of Barber’s Adagio for Strings and Tchaikovsky’s sublime Pathétique, the music is impassioned, sincere, and ultimately alive.
