Bernstein’s Jeremiah Symphony

About This Show

The USC Symphony Orchestra presents a powerful evening of symphonic masterworks featuring mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway in Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1, “Jeremiah.” Blending orchestral brilliance with a deeply moving vocal finale, Bernstein’s first symphony reflects themes of prophecy, loss, and hope.
The program opens with Dora Pejacevic’s Symphony in F-sharp Minor, a richly expressive work by the pioneering Croatian composer whose music is gaining renewed international recognition. Together, these compelling works offer an evening of passion, drama, and profound emotional depth.
