Franz Schubert’s sunny and tuneful Fifth Symphony anchors a program led by former CSO Solti Conducting Apprentice Erina Yashima that includes two of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Noveletten, which feature expansive melodies propelled by rhythmic energy. Zoltán Kodály pays homage to the folk music of his native Hungary in Dances of Galánta, while Strum, by incoming Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery, draws folkish timbres from the familiar classical string orchestra.
