She returns to the Sala São Paulo with the most talented young musicians from across the United States, leading them first in one of the greatest 20th-century American works — Samuel Barber’s dramatic, lyrical Symphony No. 1, with a four-movement symphonic structure synthesized into one single movement — and then in a voyage across the high seas with Rimsky-Korsakov’s beloved symphonic suite Scheherazade, full of instantly memorable melodies and infinite gradations of orchestral color. Venue: Sala São Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil) Broadcast date: Saturday, August 17, 2024
