The divine mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe joins the orchestra to premiere John Corigliano's One Sweet Morning. Commissioned to commemorate the tenth anniversary of 9/11, the song cycle arcs through history exploring the timeless nature of war and our unattainable desire for peace. Also on the program is Barber's moving Essay No. 1 and Dvorak's heartwarming Symphony No. 7.
