STORYTELLING

CGOA's Sinfonietta's final program of the season is about character and storytelling, featuring three fantastic works. The centerpiece of this program is Maria Schneider's work, Carlos Drummond de Andrade Stories, written for Dawn Upshaw and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. This will be a not-to-be-missed event, as our soloist brings the stories of the Brazilian poet to life through Schneider's exotic and wistful composition. American master Aaron Copland's, Billy the Kid Suite, invokes the western character through every movement, including cowboy tunes, a Mexican fiesta dance, and more. Lastly, the suite from William Grant Still, Wood Notes, celebrates the American South with poems from J. Mitchell Pilcher.
