Symphony in the Community
Concert & conversation
In addition to our regular season, MSO is pleased to introduce new opportunities to hear fresh voices. These collaborative concerts celebrate the rich local talents of our shared community of music. The informal, free matinees present innovative combinations and unexpected wonders in repertoire and performance, plus offer a post-concert opportunity to chat with the artists, share insights and learn more.
Acclaimed cellist Patrice Jackson returns to her Cade Chapel family roots with solo highlights revisiting time-honored spirituals and premiering her own world-music-centered work. This informal matinee also includes a “dialogue” of Aaron Copland and Florence Price works, and concludes with a post-concert chat.
