Oak Ridge Civic Music Association

Join the Oak Ridge Chorus and the Oak Ridge Symphony Orchestra for a profound musical experience, "Transformation & Triumph," marking the highlight of their 79th season. This special concert is scheduled for Sunday, April 28, 2024, at 3:00 PM, taking place at the Oak Ridge High School Performing Arts Center, located at 1450 Oak Ridge Turnpike, Oak Ridge, TN.

"Transformation & Triumph" is a celebration of societal evolution on a global, national, and local scale. The Oak Ridge Chorus will be performing a poignant piece by Joel Thompson titled "Seven Last Words of the Unarmed," which addresses the critical issues of racial injustice, violence, and human dignity through its emotionally resonant music. This composition pays homage to lives lost to racial injustice, encouraging a vital dialogue through its haunting melodies and powerful harmonies.

The concert will also feature Dmitri Shostakovich's "Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47," and "Overture for the Dedication of a Nuclear Reactor" by Arthur Roberts. Roberts' piece, inspired by the advancements in nuclear technology during the Manhattan Project's early years, is specially crafted for the Oak Ridge Symphony, adding a unique historical and local touch to the evening.

This event promises an unforgettable concert experience where music serves as a medium for societal reflection and resilience. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this transformative musical journey.
