Colombian American conductor known for her powerful interpretations and dedication to highlighting Latin-American composers, Lina González-Granados leads the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra's milestone Season XX's opening concert.

The performance begins with the bright, sparkling melodies of Shostakovich’s Festive Overture and has a very celebratory feel, making it perfect for opening night, followed by Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3, a dramatic and expressive work perfectly suited for the talents of Grammy-award-winning pianist Emanuel Ax. The season opener ends with Dvořák’s most famous and vibrant work, Symphony No. 9 in E minor.
