MAY 6-7, 2023- ECHOES OF COLOR

GUEST CONDUCTOR SAMEER PATEL

This concert will be bookended by two stunning pieces by British composer Anna Clyne. The opening work Within Her Arms was written as an ode to her mother, a meditation on loss, love, and life. The closing work will be her 2020 composition, Color Field, a work that was inspired by abstract artist Mark Rothko’s painting: Orange, Red, Yellow. Aaron Copland’s orchestral suite from the ballet Rodeo, and Leon Littlebird’s 2021 Brenda and Steven Schick commission, When Echoes Speak, will round out the program.
