Our 2018-2019 Season is Queer We Are, and the first concert — Won’t Back Down — is a tribute to those who face and overcome adversity. Julius Eastman’s life story completely exemplifies that theme, and we were honored that Gerald Busby composed a piece especially for this concert.

• Eastman: Stay On It
• Beethoven: Leonore Overture No. 3
• Busby: Three Bagatelles for Orchestra (WORLD PREMIERE)
• Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1
