"[M]usic director Robert Spano summed up the season this way in an e-mail: “This season we celebrated the 100th birthday of Robert Shaw, and in a sense that meant celebrating ourselves, because we are living his legacy. That’s the beauty of a living tradition: not the husk of what once was, but the vitality of what continues to thrive and evolve. That is also the case with the music created hundreds of years ago that continues to live through us today. By honoring and attending to our roots, to our past, we better envision and cultivate our future, buoyed by the rushing current generated by our forebears.” "
