Set against the opulent backdrop of The Breakers, the self-conducted chamber orchestra delivers a pioneering program spotlighting historically marginalized composers. With cellist Thomas Mesa joining their ranks as soloist for Jessie Montgomery’s Divided, prepare to be moved to your core by the sheer brilliance and passion of this 18-piece ensemble, delivering a performance that will leave you breathless.
