Philharmonia Northwest presents The Art of Defiance
Some of history’s greatest music was born from the courage to challenge expectations. Joan Tower’s exuberant Made in America, Beethoven’s deeply expressive Fourth Piano Concerto, and Shostakovich’s brilliantly unconventional Ninth Symphony reveal composers who found their own voices by refusing to follow the crowd. Steinway Artist Sandra Wright Shen joins the orchestra as soloist in this celebration of classical music’s most defiant voices.
