LEONARD BERNSTEIN: Symphony No. 1, �Jeremiah�
THEA MUSGRAVE: Remembering Harriet: Excerpts from Harriet, the Woman called Moses. A Story of the American Underground Railroad (WORLD PREMIERE)

The Brooklyn Philharmonic continues to celebrate its vital presence in the cultural life of the New York metropolitan area with its final main stage concert, entitled Freedom!, in the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House Saturday, May 13 at 8 PM. The performance marks the return of guest conductor Chelsea Tipton II, who made his critically acclaimed BP debut last year, and leads the orchestra in three works that explore the cry of freedom throughout history.
Tipton, II leads the Philharmonic in Leonard Benstein�s Symphony No. 1 �Jeremiah,� which draws on the haunting texts from the Old Testament Book of Jeremiah and laments the fall of the great city of Jerusalem and the captivity of the Hebrew people in ancient times.
The evening closes with the world premiere of Thea Musgrave�s "Remembering Harriet: Excerpts from 'Harriet, the Woman called Moses, A Story of the American Underground Railroad,'" a work that tells the story of Harriet Tubman, heroine of the Underground Railroad. Musgrave�s work is The Philharmonic�s second orchestral world premiere of the season, and the BAM performance will take place just two blocks away from a famous Brooklyn stop on the Underground Railroad.

Musical Chairs, a pre-concert introduction to the music with Thea Musgrave will be given by Evans Mirageas, Artistic Advisor to the Brooklyn Philharmonic at 7 PM in the Howard Gilman Opera House. Immediately following the concert, audience members may participate in For Good Measure, a post-concert discussion with all the soloists and Pastor Haye of Emmanuel Baptist Church, hosted by Mr. Mirageas.

Tickets are $60, $55, $40, and $20 ($10 for students) and may be purchased by calling BAM Ticket Services at (718) 636-4100.
