THALIA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Joseph Pollard White
Music Director and Conductor
2019-2020 Season: Imagination
Thalia Symphony Fall Concert - October 26, 2019
Our evocative, innovative and imaginative season under the direction of Music Director Joseph Pollard White, includes the world premiere of Seattle composer Heather Bentley's 'LANIAKEA (Immeasurable Heavens) for Stephen Hawking and Sun Ra'. The piece explores the speed of speech, the speed of mind and thinking about the world and music from different imaginary angles. Close your eyes...and take a journey with us.
Also on the program is music from Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg's groundbreaking play Peer Gynt. The orchestra will perform music from both of the famous suites, reordered to the arc of the original play. Soprano Laura Loge, music consultant for Seattle's Nordic Museum and Grieg specialist, will be our special guest artist.
Our final excursion is Felix Mendelssohn's adventurous "Scottish" Symphony. Inspired by the German composer's trip to Scotland in 1829 but not finished until 1842, the symphony is a romantic and colorful portrayal of the wild, beautiful and sometimes terrifying countryside. Pack your picnic basket.
