Description
Led by Principal Conductor Ken-David Masur, 44 musicians of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago come together to bring their virtual season to a lively conclusion. CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Missy Mazzoli’s Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres) is a bright and energetic piece, evoking the image of a solar system being flung recklessly into space. Schumann’s Fourth Symphony, recognized as a landmark for its thematic transformation, weaves drama and character into the traditional symphonic format until reaching its exuberant finale.
