DSSO Masterworks IV: Coleridge-Taylor & Sibelius
Event Navigation
The Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra celebrates Sergei Rachmaninoff’s 150th birthday.
The show opens with Rachmaninoff’s The Rock, a symphonic poem that describes the events of a storm ridden Christmas Eve. It’s a perfect opener for Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Othello Suite, based on Shakespeare’s famous play. The program of tempestuous music concludes with Jean Sibelius’ masterwork, Symphony No.5, inspired by an encounter with a wedge of swans flying above the composer.
Bill Bastian presents a pre-concert prelude talk at 6:10 p.m. to the left of the main lobby in the harbor side arena walkway.
