📍 This concert takes place at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation
SLSO soloists take center stage in this program featuring an international roster of composers from Belize, China, Jamaica, and the United States revolving around themes of interconnectedness. Eleanor Alberga muses on the lullaby’s generational transmission, while Errollyn Wallen composes trance-like dance rhythms and melodies. Wang Lu contemplates our relationship with the planet and other species; and finally, John Fitz Rogers’ virtuosic work shows off the bassoon in rapid, knit-like patterns.
