We welcome Clayton Stephenson the 2024-2025 Joyce C. Willis Artist in Residence for his first Masterworks concert of the season. The Joyce C. Willis Artist in Residence is graciously funded by the Roberts Foundation.

Under the direction of guest conductor, Jonathan Rush this concert features the unparalleled brilliance of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto, the delightful exuberance of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 3 in D major, Op. 29, affectionately known as the “Polish” Symphony; and Bonds’ The Montgomery Variations, a tribute to the resilience and spirit of the people of Montgomery, Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement.
