American Echoes

Rentals

Solstice Symphony Orchestra returns on March 14 with a FREE Saturday evening concert. This performance also marks the debut of Solstice Camerata, a new chamber-orchestra ensemble dedicated to repertoire written for smaller orchestral forces.

Admission is free; tickets are required.

Titled American Echoes, the concert will explore the “American sound” across time, space, and perspectives. The program opens with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 25, which was composed the same year that the Boston Tea Party took place in the US (1773), situating its urgency and unrest within a wider moment of philosophical and political upheaval. The program then turns to four unique American voices from different eras and backgrounds — Charles Ives, Florence Price, Caroline Shaw, and Aaron Copland — whose music engages with shared themes of doubt and devotion, inheritance and reinvention, intimacy and expansiveness.

Performed by a reduced ensemble in a chamber-orchestra setting, American Echoes invites close listening and rewards reflection. Admission is free and open to all; tickets are required and will be available in advance.

This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.
