Experience concerts exploring the highly tempestuous and deeply emotional intermingling of music and politics. Cleveland Orchestra Music Director Franz Welser-Möst takes a fascinating look at two highly autobiographical composers, whose lives and careers were separated by over a century, yet whose works demonstrate how artists of two eras wrestled with themes of freedom, personal and collective liberty, and politics.
