Themes of resilience, lyricism, and identity shape this program led by JoAnn Falletta. The concert opens with Adolphus Hailstork’s Fanfare on Amazing Grace, a bold meditation on a timeless hymn, followed by Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, performed by Nikki Chooi, blending urgency and intimacy. The evening closes with Dvořák’s Symphony No. 6, last conducted here by Falletta in 1994—a rich tribute to Bohemian spirit and musical heritage.
Fanfare on Amazing Grace – Adolphus Hailstork
Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 – Felix Mendelssohn
