About this event
The Los Angeles Philharmonic’s program explores fate, identity, and resilience. Finnish conductor Jukka-Pekka Saraste leads Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony, a work the composer linked to the force of Fate and the struggle to find happiness, culminating in a finale that affirms the power of joy. At the center is Billy Childs’s Diaspora, a saxophone concerto written for Steven Banks that confronts Black American history and identity through poetic touchstones by Maya Angelou, Claude McKay, and Nayyirah Waheed, filtered through the composer’s own lived experience. The evening opens with Sibelius’s atmospheric tone poem The Bard.
