The night
Before you go
The program opens with Marcus Goddard’s Antarctica: Life Emerging, an immersive orchestral work and film tracing the fragility of life on one of the planet’s most extreme environments. The afternoon then turns inward with William Walton’s lyrical Cello Concerto, premiered by Gregor Piatigorsky and brought vividly to life by Canadian cellist Cameron Crozman. After intermission, Maurice Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante défunte opens the second half, its translucent orchestration and nostalgic grace offering a moment of poised reflection. The program concludes with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s radiant Symphony No. 41, Jupiter, a jubilant finale to the Classical era.
