The San Diego Symphony returns to music by presenting its first orchestral performance in nearly seven months with this special program. Music Director Rafael Payare conducts musicians of the San Diego Symphony in Beethoven’s "Triple Concerto," featuring solos by renowned cellist Alisa Weilerstein, pianist and music director for La Jolla Music Society SummerFest Inon Barnatan, and San Diego Symphony Concertmaster Jeff Thayer.

A Return To Music features three pieces in addition to Beethoven’s "Triple Concerto," including "Banner" – a tribute to and a rhapsody on "The Star-Spangled Banner" – by Black female composer Jessie Montgomery. Montgomery was born and raised in Manhattan's Lower East Side, at the time when artists gravitated to the hotbed of artistic experimentation and community development. She draws from her experiences and participation in rallies, performances, celebrations and community movements to create powerful, "wildly colorful" compositions, placing her squarely as one of the most relevant interpreters of 21st century American sound and experience. Also featured on the program are Mozart's Divertimento in D major and George Walker's "Lyric for Strings." Walker was the first Black composer to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music.
