Join the ASU Symphony Orchestra for the final concert of their season, “Trailblazers,” with talented guest conductor Jonathan Taylor Rush. This exciting event, by the ASU School of Music, Dance, and Theatre, is at ASU Gammage and will showcase the works of groundbreaking composers Amy Beach and Florence Price.

Both pieces showcase the extraordinary talents of the musicians and celebrate the contributions of women to classical music.
