Notes: St. Vincent has been regarded as one of the most innovative and fascinating presences in modern music for nearly 20 years, constantly reinventing her audio and visual personae over the course of a kaleidoscopic catalog and winning six GRAMMY® Awards along the way. This summer, St. Vincent will venture once more into unexplored territory with a first-ever limited run of orchestral performances. These special shows will see a selection of favorites and deep cuts spanning the St. Vincent discography brought to life in spellbinding new dimensions with the aid of GRAMMY® Award-winning artist and renowned orchestrator, arranger, and conductor Jules Buckley. Together, St. Vincent and Buckley will perform with the world-renowned Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to forge new sonic worlds from her acclaimed albums, including Marry Me, Actor, Strange Mercy, St. Vincent, MASSEDUCTION, Daddy’s Home, and All Born Screaming — in what promises to be an unforgettable evening of unique symphonic reinterpretations of songs from one of modern music’s most eclectic and acclaimed bodies of work.

COPLAND: Lincoln Portrait
Notes: To express the spirit and founding principles of the United States, Aaron Copland turned to the words of Abraham Lincoln. In Lincoln Portrait, those words are brought to life by Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham, whose unmistakable voice gives new resonance to one of the most powerful works in American music. The work by Copland headlines a concert of all-American music with works by Bernstein, Joan Tower, and John Adams in a setting of excerpts from American poet Walt Whitman about his experience as a hospital volunteer during the American Civil War.

Barber Violin Concerto, Jessie Montgomery’s Strum, full of dancing rhythms and folk infused melody, and a world premiere by Pittsburgh favorite composer Michael Daugherty round out this season finale, an evening that looks both forward and back in a vibrant celebration of American musical voices.
