Michelle Cann, lauded as “exquisite” by The Philadelphia Inquirer, joins the PSO for Edvard Grieg’s majestic piano concerto. Jessie Montgomery’s Records from a Vanishing City is based on her recollections of the music that surrounded her as she grew up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the 1980s and 1990s. Ludwig van Beethoven’s second symphony, one of his lesser-known works, brims with positivity.
