What better way to open the 2024–2025 Season than with a world premiere by Robert Xavier Rodríguez who Texas Monthly has called “one of the major American composers of his generation.” Joining Maestro Guzmán and the PSO for this very special concert is the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, one of the most exciting ballet companies in the country, performing a beautiful pas de deux from Swan Lake as well as Ravel’s sensuous Boléro, with choreography by Susan Jaffe. Also appearing will be PSO Concertmaster Elisabeth Adkins performing Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by S. Barber.
A VIP ticket will include a post-concert meet and greet with assistant conductor Shira Samuels-Shragg. Shira will share a behind-the-scenes look at our summer orchestra camp and provide an in-depth musical examination of the works presented on the concert.
