Description

From shadow to summit — no work embodies that journey more completely than Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor, the triumphant close of a season built around his 200th anniversary. Carlos Simon’s Fate Now Conquers opens the concert, written in direct response to the symphony that follows. Richard Danielpour’s From the Mountain Top then charts its own ascent from grief toward transcendence, performed by Anthony McGill — Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic and one of the foremost clarinetists of his generation. The evening culminates in Beethoven’s Fifth — one of the most iconic works in all of music, arriving at exactly the right moment.
