MASTERWORKS CONCERT III: All Seeing Sky

The performance opens with Wagner’s jubilant Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin with brass blazing and strings to capture the medieval tale of chivalry and betrayal.  Then SPSO presents one of the first performances of Greek-New Zealand Composer John Psathas’ All Seeing Sky, an evocative work for two percussionist soloists and orchestra, featuring world acclaimed percussionists Lynn Vartan and Weichin Lin.  Dvořák’s emotionally profound Seventh Symphony concludes the concert as a personal reflection on grief and joy.
