Puttin’ on the Ritz

We’re puttin’ on the ritz to kick off our 90th anniversary season with an opening night of musical fireworks, including Rimsky-Korsakov’s triumphant Procession of the Nobles and Grieg’s Piano Concerto, which is always an audience favorite, performed by the marvelous Steinway Artist Spencer Myer. We will also perform, for the first time in the Springfield Symphony’s history, Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony, a deeply-moving musical portrait of life in Russia under Stalin, which has been hailed as a work encompassing both lofty principles and great artistry, and also a deep and poignant humanity.
