Kevin Puts tells the impassioned love story of painter Georgia O’Keeffe and her husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz, in The Brightness of Light, a BSO commission composed for soprano Renée Fleming. The program opens with two high-spirited Mozart works dating from his early Vienna years, when he was creating a new life as an independent composer.
