Artistic Director Mark Seto leads The Chelsea Symphony in an examination of time and historic parallels in the orchestra’s season closer. Each program opens with an American brass concerto written within the last 15 years: Adolphus Hailstork’s Concertino for Trumpet and Orchestra, performed by Rebecca Steinberg, and Jay Krush’s Concerto for bass trombone, featuring Owen Caprell. Both evenings close with Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 11, a dark and complex work memorializing the Russian Revolution of 1905, written in the time of the Hungarian Uprising, and perhaps a timely reminder of humanity’s continued fight against autocracy.
