In January the orchestra brings to life Rachmaninoff’s expressive third symphony and celebrates the Lakota Music Project with Jerod “Impichchaachaaha” Tate’s new song cycle. Inspired by Rachmaninoff, Tate began his work as a pianist and has become one of the most prominent American Indian classical composers alive today. “Tate’s connection to nature and the human experience was quite apparent in this piece…rarer still is his ability to effectively infuse classical music with American Indian nationalism.” – The Washington Post.
Repertoire:
Ballard: Incident at Wounded Knee
