    The season opens with an exciting mix of tradition and the cutting-edge. Already acclaimed a 21st century masterpiece, Jennifer Higdon's dazzling Concerto for Orchestra showcases each of the orchestra's sections in turn 'a grand workout for a virtuoso band.' Tchaikovsky's Second Symphony, titled Little Russian for its singing Ukrainian folk melodies, brings us back to an exuberantly romantic work of great beauty. Maestro de Cou begins the program with Borodin's lyrical symphonic poem, written to conjure up the Russian Empire's exotic Asian frontier for Tsar Alexander II's silver jubilee, and later beloved from the Broadway musical Kismet.
