Commissioned in honor of the United States's 250th anniversary, this new work by Spotlight Artist Levi Taylor draws on the words of civil rights leader John Lewis and his call to make "good trouble."

Pianist Anne-Marie McDermott performs Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto, a work of ingenious contrasts. From its brooding piano introduction to a playful dialogue between soloist and orchestra, the concerto includes moments of lyricism and dramatic tension, resolving into a jubilant finale.

Tchaikovsky's "Pathétique" is known for its profound melancholy and confessional nature, a work the composer said contained his "whole soul." Defying expectation, the symphony abandons triumph for a final movement that dissolves into silence, a striking conclusion to this intensely emotional work.
