Elgar’s Enigma Variations describe ‘the friends pictured within’, brought to musical life through foibles, fancies and frolics. Before it we’ll hear Dorothy Howell’s Lamia, itself the description of an ill-fated love.

Step into Middle-earth as Piedmont Wind Symphony brings to life Johan de Meij’s Symphony No. 1 The Lord of the Rings, a powerful musical journey inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic fantasy epic. Composed in 1988 and winner of the prestigious Sudler Composition Award in 1989, this groundbreaking work was the first symphony ever written specifically for concert band by de Meij.

Structured in five evocative movements, de Meij’s symphony captures the spirit and mystery of Tolkien’s world—from the commanding presence of Gandalf to the shimmering beauty of Lothlórien, the tragic duality of Gollum, the perilous Journey in the Dark, and the warm-hearted resilience of the Hobbits. With vivid orchestration and dramatic storytelling, this performance promises an unforgettable adventure for Tolkien fans and symphonic music lovers alike.

The UMD Symphony Orchestra opens its 2024-25 season with William Grant Still’s Symphony No. 1, “Afro-American,” the first symphony composed by an African American to be performed by a major orchestra when it premiered in 1931. This remarkable piece is a love letter to blues and Black culture, showcasing Still’s vision to elevate the blues, which he felt was often considered a "lowly" expression, to the highest musical level. By masterfully integrating blues progressions and rhythms with traditional symphonic forms, Still created a symphony that resonates with profound emotion and cultural significance.
