Adagio for Strings with the ASO

The celebrated Canadian conductor Peter Oundjian turns the clock back to 1936 for works by the American Romantic Samuel Barber. The iconic Adagio for Strings equally serves as a great American elegy and a devastating Hollywood soundtrack (Platoon, The Elephant Man, Lorenzo's Oil, etc.). Barber's warmly melodic First Symphony delivers drama and passion, while the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra stirs up a rhythmic maelstrom in Frenzy: A Short Symphony by American John Adams. The Orchestra welcomes the "transformational" saxophone virtuoso Steven Banks for Joan Tower's fluid and lyrical concerto Love Returns.
