The TSO brings two top-notch soloists to this 100th birthday party of Samuel Barber, one of America’s finest composers. Barber’s haunting Adagio for Strings, heard on the soundtracks of Platoon, The Elephant Man, and other films, and his First Symphony complete the portrait.

On Oct. 7 at 7:15pm, join Rick Phillips for a relaxed and enlightening discussion about the performance, with a Pre-Concert Chat in the lobby.

  • Peter Oundjian, conductor
  • Jon Kimura Parker, piano
  • Gil Shaham, violin
