Music lovers in Tuscaloosa are in for a powerful and moving experience as the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra (TSO) presents its season finale, Hymns for Everyone, on Monday, April 7, at 7 PM in Moody Concert Hall. This highly anticipated performance will feature an unforgettable program designed to showcase the unifying power of music.
The concert will highlight Jessie Montgomery’s A Hymn for Everyone, a contemporary piece by the acclaimed American composer, as well as Jean Sibelius’ Finlandia, The Swan of Tuonela, and Lemminkäinen’s Return—works known for their epic and emotional depth. The evening’s highlight will be a performance of one of classical music’s most beloved masterpieces, Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor, featuring internationally acclaimed pianist and University of Alabama professor Kevin Chance.
For those who have never experienced a live symphony, this concert is the perfect opportunity. The program blends soaring melodies with moments of breathtaking beauty, promising an evening that will leave audiences inspired and energized.
“There’s nothing like experiencing a live orchestra,” said Natassia Perrine, TSO Executive Director. “You feel the music in a way that recordings just can’t capture. This program is especially exciting, with music that is both powerful and deeply moving—and Kevin Chance’s performance of Grieg’s Piano Concerto will be a truly thrilling experience.”
