Sinfonietta: The Lantern with SDSYO
March 3, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$10In a powerful educational and musical experience, the South Dakota Symphony Youth Orchestra, led by conductor Thomas Fortner, will perform a movement of my Sinfonietta with the first-chair string players of the South Dakota Symphony sitting in. They will play the fourth movement (of five) titled “The Lantern,” inspired by an image from the Sufi poet Hafez: a lantern with galaxies blooming inside! The SDSO co-commissioned and premiered my Sinfonietta in 2017, but this is the first time the youth orchestra – or any youth orchestra – has attempted any of it, and I can’t wait! This is all part of my Music Alive residency with the SDSO, which extends through June 2019.
