The concert is centered around John Corigliano's Symphony No. 1, written at the peak of the AIDS crisis in 1989. This piece is moving to become an enduring memorial, mixing expressive rage with melodies offering solace. Jennifer Higdon's Blue Cathedral is the radiant balance to the program. Written in 2000, it is as much of a hit as an orchestra piece can be, having been playing by 400 orchestras around the world.
