MOZART Symphony No. 40ALLISON LOGGINS-HULL Grit. Grace. Glory.
(World Premiere; TCO Co-commission) PROKOFIEV Symphony No. 4*

Mozart completed his Symphony No. 40 in a matter of weeks in 1788, though nothing in this music indicates any hurry, showcasing a work of both refined elegance and fiery passion. Music Director Franz Welser-Möst pairs this with a blazing symphony of a different sort — Prokofiev’s Fourth, for which the composer adapted music from his ballet The Prodigal Son. Complementing these is a much-anticipated world premiere from Allison Loggins-Hull, the Orchestra’s Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow.
