Matías Tarnopolsky recalled the orchestra's 2018 Israel tour, and how it brought together 'Jews and Arabs in musical harmony without borders.'
A moving speech. Music that felt cleansing and cathartic. A composer who, at least for this listener, is unmatched for his ability to change the chemistry of the brain.
But the orchestra has an uncanny way of planning programs months in advance that, by the time they reach the stage, somehow speak to larger events. Even without the speeches before the downbeat in Verizon Hall, the concert’s three works held up a mirror to the moment. In one of the most meaningful moments of that tour, Tarnopolsky continued, “Yannick and musicians from the Philadelphia Orchestra led a performance at the Oasis of Peace, bringing together Jews and Arabs in musical harmony without borders.”
The orchestra has often stepped up to react to events well beyond the concert hall. It was founded in 1900 after musicians organized concerts benefiting families of those killed in the Spanish-American War. It has regularly held relief concerts for various causes, and provided Philadelphia with balm just days after 9 / 11 in a Mann Center concert led by Wolfgang Sawallisch.
