MSO Presents: "Creation and the New World"

The MSO proudly invites you to join us as we launch our 79th season, centered around recognition of America's upcoming semiquincentennial! Throughout the season we'll perform works that celebrate, recognize, and honor American composers, cultures, and movements and the ways in which they've shaped our country.

Our first performance will feature Tonya Wind Singer's Creation*, which, as the composer writes, is a "musical narration of the Native perspective on the connectedness to each other and all things around us and how each of us is essential for the balance of the world around us." Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 (From the New World) will close the program: a piece inspired by Native American melodies and Black spirituals as well as the "wide open spaces" across America of which Dvořák wrote.

We are so excited to share another season of music with you, and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday, October 5 at 3:00pm at Sligo Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Takoma Park, MD!

*This performance of Wind Singer's Creation is made possible through generous donations to our Repertoire Reserve, which supports the performance of works by historically excluded composers. More information regarding this fund, including how to give, can be found on our website: msomd.org/repertoire-reserve
