New Music: There
Will Be Strings

Maestro Dirk Meyer and the Sarasota Orchestra take on the exciting and unique repertoire of three living composers. This one-night-only concert opens with American composer John Adams’ Son of Chamber Symphony, a rambunctious, high energy off-spring of one of his earlier works. Bursting next onto the program are two pieces for string orchestra that test the musicians’ capabilities in very different ways. Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara displays breathtaking variety in his Bird Gardens. The final work on the program is Jonny Greenwood’s Popcorn Superhet Receiver.

Guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, this is an evening of new music proving that living composers are ever expanding the classical repertoire with new voice and perspective.
