WELCOME TO SEASON 64!
Each season, I ask myself: “What stories do we most need to hear right now?”
This year’s journey with the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra takes us across borders and generations—through music as rich in history as it is alive with possibility.
I’ve chosen works that honor the traditions we cherish while amplifying the voices we need to hear today. We’ll dive into the vibrant pulse of modern Mexico with Gabriela Ortiz’s Antrópolis and rediscover the long-overlooked brilliance of William Dawson’s powerful Negro Folk Symphony. We’ll revisit Rachmaninoff’s sweeping Second Piano Concerto with the phenomenal Olga Kern, and celebrate the flair of French modernism as Pascal Rogé brings Ravel’s jazz-infused concerto to life.
We’ll also welcome Pablo Sáinz-Villegas, performing Arturo Márquez’s brand-new Guitar Concerto, and the incomparable Christine Goerke, whose breathtaking voice and commanding presence continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
This season reflects music that has shaped my own creative journey as well: Strauss’s virtuosic Don Juan, Copland’s rugged and expansive Billy the Kid, and Shostakovich’s mighty Fifth Symphony— a work of immense drama, resilience, and coded defiance.
Each piece was chosen not only for its artistic merit, but for its power to move, challenge, and connect us. Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to sharing these unforgettable moments of discovery with you at Maryland Hall, the Music Center at Strathmore, Meyerhoff, and beyond.

The first half of the concert opens with Debussy’s ethereal “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun” and continues with Richard Strauss’ timeless “Four Last Songs”.

She has appeared on the stages of the Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Paris Opera, Teatro alla Scala, and Lyric Opera of Chicago, among many others. Next is Strauss’ Don Juan, a fiery and romantic symphonic poem that showcases the brilliance, precision, and expressive range of the ASO’s celebrated string sections. The evening reaches its finale with Copland’s iconic suite from Billy the Kid —a bold, distinctly American composition.
