For the first time ever, SoNA is releasing a full-length album with groundbreaking new music that blends acoustic and electric sounds, as well as virtual and “in real life” performances by our orchestra and special guest soloists and ensembles from around the world. This album will include music by our very own Music Director Paul Haas, as well as the incredible violist/composer Trevor New. To celebrate and preview this upcoming release, we’re featuring these pieces in a live performance, with virtual tie-ins to multiple international locations. After the intermission, we'll raise the roof with the joyously beautiful Symphony No. 3 in F Major by Johannes Brahms – truly one of the most gorgeous pieces of music ever written. This concert shows SoNA’s commitment to the past, present, and future of music with “new canons" and beloved time-honored ones as well.

Conductor Paul Haas breaks new ground with Dinuk Wijeratne’s Concerto for Tabla, a piece that highlights the “king” of Indian percussion instruments—known for the richness of its timbre and rhythmically complex repertoire unique to the instrument itself. This concerto will be performed by Guggenheim Fellow, Silk Road Ensemble member and Grammy-winner, Sandeep Das! This driving concerto leads to the emotional finale of Tchaikovsky’s fate-filled Fourth Symphony.
