Feel the energy, the color, and the pulse of something bigger than you—until tension breaks into triumph, lifting you out of the everyday and leaving you exhilarated.

Foss) Prelude, Fugue and Riffs Luciano Berio: Folk Songs Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 Bernstein’s Prelude, Fugue and Riffs turns the orchestra into a jazz band that gets out of control. Mezzo-soprano Rinat Shaham sings the theatrical Folk Songs of Berio in nine languages and dialects.
