Dance and Defiance – New Haven, CT

Don’t miss this upcoming 2024 Local Event in New Haven, CT. Happening on Sunday, September 29, 2024 at Woolsey Hall. Doors open at 3:00 PM.

Featuring Tai Murray, violin

Music Director William Boughton and the Yale Symphony Orchestra kick off the season with Carlos Simon’s “Ring Shout” and jazz musician Wynton Marsalis’ jubilant Violin Concerto. Tai Murray, professor of violin at the Yale School of Music, is the soloist in the Marsalis, a work that celebrates “the public storytelling that is virtuosic performance” and the “common musical ground” between the jazz and modern orchestras. The concert concludes with Shostakovich’s shattering Fifth Symphony, a journey from haunting despair to its famously ambiguous finale — rousing triumph or a defiant critique of life under Stalin?

Carlos Simon – “Ring Shout” from Five Black American Dances

Wynton Marsalis – Violin Concerto

Dmitri Shostakovich – Symphony No. 5

The 24/25 Woolsey Series is generously supported by the Daniel Feller ’74 Yale Symphony Endowment Fund in Honor of John Mauceri (Music Director 1968-74).
