It begins with four notes that changed music forever. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony storms the stage in a defiant journey from darkness to triumphant light. Hannah Kendall’s Spark Catchers gives voice to working women in 1800’s London factories, while Michael Daugherty paints the labor and fire of Detroit steel. Together, these works blaze with resilience, struggle, and ultimate triumph.
