Pick-Staiger Concert Hall
Donald Schleicher, conductor
The Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra's first performance of the academic year opens with Liza Sobel Crane's (E)Merging Dances, premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2022. The program continues with the 1947 version of Igor Stravinsky's Petrushka—the colorful, Russian folk music-inspired ballet detailing the loves and jealousies of three puppets. Concluding the program is Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A Major, a work so well received at its premiere that the audience demanded an immediate encore of its Allegretto movement.
