Intro

Music can be subversive and it can speak truth to power. In this concert, pianist Michelle Cann joins your Hawaiʻi Symphony for a lionhearted program of resilience, revolution, and representation. Dane Lam conducts Florence Price's Piano Concerto, Margaret Bond's gripping evocation of the Civil Right movement in her Montgomery Variations, and Shostakovich's defiant Symphony No. 5, embodying the power of the art to free us from our shackles and lead us to freedom.

Ticket holders: We invite you to join us in the auditorium at 3:00 PM for a special pre-concert talk.
