The combined power of the Winston-Salem Symphony and the Symphony Chorale is heard and felt on this Carolina Live, as the musicians perform Karl Jenkins’ compelling The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace and Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1 (Jeremiah). The latter, while certainly not as well-known as much of Bernstein’s other music, is a powerful work. Please join us for this concert titled A Concert for Peace on Carolina Live.
