The Chelsea Symphony

Twenty years ago, The Chelsea Symphony’s inaugural season paired the complete Brahms symphonies with new works by up-and-coming composers. In this program, we revisit Brahms’s magisterial Fourth Symphony and present a premiere by a composer who has been with TCS since the beginning, Aaron Dai.

Matthew Aubin and TCS Conducting Fellow Valentina Paolucci lead a vibrant program of music from South America and the United States.

Matthew Aubin and Mark Seto conduct a special, one-night-only performance of contemporary American works for soloist and orchestra. The program features premieres by Adolphus Hailstork, Michael J. Miller, TCS Composition Fellow Aidan Gold, and more.

In commemoration of Juneteenth, TCS Conducting Fellow Nicolás Gómez Amín leads two exuberant works that celebrate the Black American experience: Florence Price’s Dances in the Canebrakes and Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances.
