The Journey Home

Experience “The Journey Home,” a heart‑felt addition to the National Repertory Orchestra’s American Adventures season, conducted by the illustrious Leonard Slatkin. In this film, Slatkin invites viewers on a personal musical odyssey, weaving his own journey with the pieces that have shaped him. Feel the electric pulse of Cindy McTee’s “Circuits,” a dazzling interplay of orchestral brilliance, while dancers of the sound echo throughout the hall. The program also features “Voyager 130,” a moving composition by Slatkin’s son, Daniel, which looks outward at the cosmos and inward at shared memories. Delve into the yearning depths of Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 3, born from the composer’s own migration from Russia to America, singing a universal longing for home. With the superb cello performance of Elisabeth Hsi‑yuang Chang, the film highlights Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s “Cello Concerto in C major, Opus 37,” a dramatic birth largely spawned in the movie *Deception*. Each movement offers a unique portal, from celestial exploration to the resilient pull of home. Join us for this evocative concert film that celebrates resilience, memory, and the profound twist of musical destinies.
