Maestro Scott Speck returns triumphantly to conduct Chicago Philharmonic for the first time at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts since 2020. The beauty, possibility, and bittersweet nostalgia of the American spirit is captured through Copland’s Appalachian Spring and Still’s Out of the Silence. Plus, Chicago Philharmonic’s own Sergey Gutorov shines in a brilliant rendition of Mozart’s beloved Clarinet Concerto, and violin virtuoso Njioma Grevious performs Composer-in-Residence Marcus Norris’ electric Glory.
