Anthony McGill’s solo in the “From the Mountaintop” Concerto lies in the center of a program that is focused on Martin Luther King Jr. It is complemented by Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, reflecting on the brevity of MLK’s life, and Richard Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration, used here as a metaphor for the legacy that remains vital to this day. In the words of Dr. King himself, “Keep moving, for it may well be that the greatest song has not yet been sung, the greatest book has not been written, the highest mountain has not been climbed.”
