Ottorino Respighi’s Pines of Rome never fails to astonish with its vibrant portrayal of the city of Rome through music. Equally astonishing will be two of today’s most innovative soloists: Grammy-nominated flutist, vocalist, and composer Nathalie Joachim, performing songs that explore her own Haitian heritage, and Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto.
