Angel Lam Composer
Principal cellist Alexei Romanenko moves front and center for one of the most gorgeous and popular pieces in the cello repertoire, Dvořák’s Cello Concerto. In yet another historic moment in Jacoby Symphony Hall, the Symphony is among the first to perform Angel Lam’s Please let there be a paradise... Vaughan Williams' Fourth Symphony provides a striking contrast with its bold exploration of emotions, capturing the atmosphere of its time through powerful expression.
