Adolphus Hailstork's powerful memorial piece Lachrymosa: 1919 is followed in this DSO concert by orchestral works by Jean Sibelius and Pyotr Tchaikovsky.
Hailstork's 'Lachrymosa: 1919' takes you right into the turmoil of the ‘Red Summer’ – a period of racist violence against the emerging African-American middle class. The music speaks directly to you: deeply moving, emotional and powerful, steeped in African-American traditions and global soundscapes.
Augustin Hadelich lets his instrument shine for you in Sibelius' Violin Concerto – virtuosic, passionate and expressive. A fascinating soundscape unfolds between floating longing, fiery cadenzas and poetic intensity.
