Now a year from the fires that devastated the North State, this program exemplifies the resilience of our communities and hope for the future. Chicago Symphony clarinetist John Yeh takes us to the heart of Copland's lyrical and jazzy Clarinet Concerto. Concluding the evening is the powerfully expressive Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Ralph Vaughan Williams, a work saturated with endless melody and bountiful optimism.
