Delyana Lazarova, Conductor
Steven Banks, Saxophone

Lutosławski: Little Suite
Billy Childs: Diaspora, Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra
Beethoven: Symphony No. 4

Bask in Beethoven’s sun-infused, high-spirited Fourth Symphony, whose second movement, said Berlioz, sounds like “an angel singing at the gates of Paradise.” Plus, saxophonist Steven Banks performs Childs’ Diaspora, which the composer describes as “a symphonic poem which strives to chronicle the paradigm of the forced black American diaspora, as sifted through the prism of my own experience as a black man in America.”
