Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at Strathmore: Copland, Glass and a Leshnoff Premiere
YaoGuang Zhai takes the solo role in Copland’s jazz-influenced Clarinet Concerto, while Jonathan Leshnoff’s Symphony No. 6 arrives as a BSO-commissioned world premiere. Those are two distinct focal points in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s Strathmore program.
Copland gives the clarinet the solo role
Under conductor Jonathon Heyward, the orchestra pairs Aaron Copland’s Clarinet Concerto with two symphonies. YaoGuang Zhai, the BSO’s principal clarinetist, is the concerto soloist; the event description characterizes Copland’s work as jazz-influenced.
That combination makes the program’s format clear: a featured soloist shares the bill with large-scale orchestral works. The listing names the other two pieces as Jonathan Leshnoff’s Symphony No. 6 and Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 15, “Lincoln.”

A commissioned premiere, with visuals
Leshnoff’s Sixth Symphony was commissioned by the BSO and is billed as a world premiere. The event listing also says visuals are integrated with the music, making this the program’s explicitly visual element.
The listing does not explain what the visuals depict or how they will be presented. It also does not give a running order for the three works, so the sequence should not be assumed.

A concerto and two symphonies
The bill combines Copland’s solo concerto with two symphonies. Leshnoff’s BSO-commissioned work is the premiere and the one specifically described as incorporating visuals.
