Clyne PIVOT
Grieg Piano Concerto
Orion Weiss, piano
Beach Gaelic Symphony
With our 2023-24 Season focusing on works by female composers, we open our season with a delightful trip to Scotland by Anne Clyne. Her PIVOT was written for the Edinburgh Festival and features snippets of many recognizable Scottish melodies. Then we experience the first symphony to ever be performed and published by an American female composer: Amy Beach’s Gaelic Symphony. This season we also mark the 10th anniversary of Maestro Meyer’s tenure with the DSSO. To kick off the celebration we invite back the spectacular pianist Orion Weiss to perform the Grieg Piano Concerto with the orchestra – just as he did exactly 10 years ago for Maestro Meyer’s very first concert as Music Director with the DSSO.
