This program explores three distinctive musical landscapes. Debussy's Ibéria evokes the colors, rhythms, and atmosphere of Spain through masterful orchestral writing. Peter Lieberson's Neruda Songs, inspired by Pablo Neruda's love poems, expresses profound intimacy and devotion through the rich voice of the mezzo-soprano. Concluding the evening, Nielsen's Symphony No. 4, The Inextinguishable, celebrates the enduring power of life with overwhelming energy and dramatic force.
