Jessie Montgomery & Curtis Stewart: Embrace Curtis Stewart (+2 More)

Chicago Opera Theater Music Director Lidiya Yankovskaya leads musicians from the CSO in a program highlighting composer performers, including three-time Grammy Award-nominated violinist and composer Curtis Stewart. His stunning new violin concerto for string orchestra, Embrace, incorporates testimonies by members of the Chicago community while his work Of Love — a collection of works to cherish life, time and lifetimes — serves as a personal requiem. This program features two world premieres — an additional work by Stewart and a new work by CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery.
