Composers find inspiration in everything - their nationality, historical events, and of course other genres of music. With his Symphony No. 38, Wolfgang Mozart wrote a love letter to the city of Prague. The music crackles with virtuosity and grace, signaling that Mozart is at the peak of his compositional powers. ASO welcomes percussionist Garrett Arney to the stage to perform Emmanuel Séjourné’s Concerto for Marimba and Strings, an eclectic piece that will leave you breathless. The concert opens with Jessie Montgomery’s Banner, commissioned in 2014 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of The Star-Spangled Banner, weaves together snippets of Star-Spangled Banner with civil rights songs and socialist anthems. Inspiration is everywhere, especially in the concert hall!

“Behold, the Sea!” With these words, Ralph Vaughan William’s massive Sea Symphony begins. This work, nearly an hour in length, was Vaughan Williams’s first major work and it was inspired by the poetry of Walt Whitman. Using over 107 lines of text from the poet’s Leaves of Grass, Vaughan William’s choral-orchestral work explores the sea itself as well as the sea of time, humankind and our infinite world. Auburn Symphony Orchestra is delighted to present this work in collaboration with Seattle Pro Music and their conductor, Karen Thomas.
