Music has a life-giving force and uncanny power of resilience. Bela Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra was written on what many thought the composer’s deathbed, but bringing it into the world gave the composer new life—and gave audiences one of the most radiant pieces of music ever written. Meanwhile, Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto reminds us of humanity’s capacity for beauty, and Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances open the concert with rousing rhythms.
