Fate Now Conquers

Fate Now Conquers explores the timeless struggle between destiny and human courage through three orchestral works: Ethel Smyth’s The Wreckers Overture; Brahms’s Tragic Overture and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, the triumphant path from darkness to light. Presented at the Temple Performing Arts Center in Philadelphia, this program invites listeners to confront the forces that challenge us and the hope that ultimately propels us forward.
