We are honored to invite maestro Robert Moody back to the NRO! This genre-defying concert will feature elements of trip hop, electronica, and jazz alongside the best of traditional classical music. Liquid Interface gives us water in every form and explores the intersection of nature and technology through evocative and dynamic musical textures. Sibelius’ monumental fifth symphony captures the essence of the Finnish landscape, featuring soaring melodies, rhythmic motifs, and a triumphant finale symbolizing the awakening of national identity.
