Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra will perform music from Composer of the Year Mason Bates and revisit classics from Tchaikovsky and Mozart in a weekend of BNY Mellon Grand Classics concerts.

The program begins with Bates’ “Mothership,” commissioned and premiered by the YouTube Symphony at the Sydney Opera House. PSO principal clarinetist Michael Rusinek will be the featured soloist. He will perform Mozart’s “Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra.” He was last featured as a soloist in November 2010.
