Guest conductor Thomas Wilkins leads the orchestra in this captivating program. Copland’s sparkling Appalachian Spring is considered one of his finest works. Michael Daugherty’s Letters from Lincoln, written in celebration of the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, features baritone soloist Yazid Gray. Dvo?ák’s poetic eighth symphony is full of charm, inspired by the composer’s reflections on nature and life.
