Our opening concert will feature a world premiere of American composer, Dosia McKay’s “Earthrise” (2022). McKay, originally from Poland, composed this powerful work during the pandemic and then the Russian-Ukraine war. Instead of a grim, menacing piece she found herself “…chiseling a sonic space that gradually became more and more hopeful, idealistic, and even triumphant. I kept envisioning Earth gathering strength and ultimately rising to overcome the darkness and the evil inflicted on her and her inhabitants.” Also on the program, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 expressing his profound love of nature, and Telemann’s trip down the Elbe River through Hamburg, Germany with his “Water Music.”
