The lights dim. Music Director Andreas Delfs takes the podium. A low pulse rises—Mason Bates’ Mothership ignites, pulling you into orbit where the orchestra becomes a cosmic vessel, and every note is a signal from the stars. Then Anne Akiko Meyers’ violin breathes life into Barber’s Violin Concerto, its tender melodies unfolding like whispered confessions before erupting into a finale of white-hot virtuosity. And at last, the horizon opens. Dvořák’s Symphony No. 6 sweeps you into a sunlit world of dancing rhythms and pastoral warmth, carrying you toward a jubilant, heart-lifting finale. This isn’t just a concert. It’s a voyage across galaxies, hearts, and homelands to start your RPO’s 102nd season.
