Riccardo Muti direction

Florence Price: Symphony N° 3
Sergueï Prokofiev: Symphonie N° 5
Giacomo Puccini: Bis: Manon Lescaut: Intermezzo sinfonico

The magnificent Chicago Symphony Orchestra tours with its Music Director of 14 years, Riccardo Muti, for the last time! Watch them come together to perform two 20th-century symphonic masterpieces. African American composer Florence Price’s recently re-discovered Symphony N° 3 has won international acclaim for its imaginative scoring and melodic beauty. It is coupled here with Sergei Prokofiev’s heroic Symphony N° 5, which sets out to glorify «the grandeur of the human spirit».
