Enjoy an exquisite evening of music featuring Wiley Sykes on castanets in Falla’s Spanish Dance No. 1, followed by Gabriela Martinez mesmerizing with Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor. Experience the pulsating energy of Moncayo’s “Huapango” and the fiery intensity of Ginastera’s “Four Dances from Estancia,” before being swept away by the dramatic flair of Falla’s Suite No. 2 from “El sombrero de tres picos” (Three-Cornered Hat).

Julia Wolfe’s Her Story invokes the words of historical figures and the spirit of pivotal moments in history to pay tribute to the centuries of ongoing struggle for equal rights and representation for women in America. From the letters of Abigail Adams to words attributed to Sojourner Truth, Her Story, as explained by Julia Wolfe, “captures the passion and perseverance of women refusing subordination, demanding representation and challenging the prejudice and power structures that have limited women’s voices.” The dynamic vocal artists of the Lorelei Ensemble join the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for this immersive and visual presentation, with staging by Anne Kauman, before the May Festival Chorus closes the program with Gabriel Fauré’s tender and comforting Requiem.
