American Voices: Rhapsody in Blue

In this delightful concert, SoNA" class="css-u850" data-mark-multiple="true">SoNA pairs one of the most famous pieces ever written with some of the greatest music you’ve never heard!  The whole first half of the evening is an exploration of relatively unknown pieces from three different continents (Australia, Europe, and South America), after which we return to Germany and Mozart’s “Jupiter” Symphony.  This powerful piece of music raised the bar for all composers who came after Mozart, complete with a barnstorming finale that combines all 5 of its opening themes into a “you-have-to-hear-it” fugal explosion.  A “Russian Rag” from Australia?  You just have to hear it and romp in the fun!  Featuring SoNA’s principal trombonist Cory Mixdorf playing Grondahl’s fantastic concerto, as well as Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov’s hauntingly beautiful and affecting “Tenebrae”, written just over 20 years ago, yet timeless.
