- **Event Description**: Music Director Earl Lee and the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra present three cornerstone works that chart a powerful journey through human emotion.

Copland’s Appalachian Spring Suite evokes the optimism and quiet strength of a young nation, with open, luminous textures and the unmistakable Shaker melody “Simple Gifts.” Lauded for her commanding stage presence, infallible technique, and interpretive ability” (Violinist.com), violinist Amaryn Olmeda makes her Ann Arbor debut in Barber’s Violin Concerto, with its soaring lyricism giving way to a dazzling, frenetic finale.

The evening culminates in Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, the composer’s fated final work. From moments of profound beauty and grace to its haunting, subdued conclusion, it’s no wonder Tchaikovsky proclaimed this to be his most sincere work.
