The Jackson Symphony Orchestra presents two premieres. We open with a world premiere by Jonathan Bruce Brown, the JSO’s Composer-in-Residence, called Skyward! The work is a fanfare for orchestra commemorating the inaugural season of Matthew Aubin’s tenure as Music Director of the JSO. Cellist Julian Schwarz joins the JSO to present the Michigan premiere of Lowell Liebermann’s 2017 Cello Concerto. Featuring African-American spirituals, Dvorak’s New World Symphony concludes the concert and our season.
