In their season opener, members of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra and Fred M. Saigh Youth Orchestra Music Director, Samuel Hollister open dialogue between peace and tension. Valerie Coleman’s Umoja is an anthem for the Kwanzaa holiday, drawing on the entire orchestra to summon a shared experience of unity and joy. Tchaikovsky’s Hamlet strikes a notably darker mood, tracing some of the Shakespeare play’s most dramatic moments. Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 contains strains of both conflict and relaxation—with folkloric melodies underpinned by stormy intensity.
