Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Led by Manfred Honeck Performs Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht – March 30

MAR 28  FRI 7:30 PM

MAR 29 SAT 2:30 PM

MAR 30 SUN 2:30 PM

HANNAH EISENDLE: Heliosis [PSO Premiere]
LISZT: Piano Concerto No. 2
IMAN HABIBI: “Jeder Baum spricht” [PSO Premiere]
BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 6, “Pastoral”

The PSO’s season features works inspired by the natural world: Beethoven’s “Pastoral” you can hear bucolic bird calls, the rolling of thunder, and the calling of a shepherd’s pipes from distant hills. Habibi’s new work was written as a meditation on climate change. Eisendle’s Heliosis, from the Greek word for the sun, is in turn blistering, scorching, and shimmering.
