Breathe in fresh meadow air and envision flower buds bursting into full bloom with Schumann’s revitalizing “Spring” Symphony, music that positively brims with optimism and cheer. Jordan Pal’s Scylla: Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra offers both a gorgeous showcase for Principal Trombone Gordon Wolfe and a thought-provoking take on our relationship with nature. The sprightly overture to Beethoven’s only full-length ballet, The Creatures of Prometheus, opens the program.
